Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, -2) and (8, 1)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Answer 1

y=1/4x-1

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-(-2))/(8-(-4))

m=(1+2)/(8+4)

m=3/12

m=1/4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=1/4(x-(-4))

y+2=1/4(x+4)

y=1/4x+4/4-2

y=1/4x+1-2

y=1/4x-1
