Question

<
Find the equation of the line.
Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

y = 1/2 - 3

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0, -3) (6, 0)

We see the y increase by 3 and the x increase by 6, so the slope is

m = 3/6 = 1/2

Y-intercept is located at (0, -3)

So, the equation is y = 1/2 - 3
