Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,-3) and (-3,1)

Answer 1

`y = (4)/(3) x + 5`

Explanation:

The slope is

`( - 3 - 1)/( - 6 - ( - 3)) = (4)/(3)`

Substituting into point-slope form,

`y - 1 = (4)/(3) (x + 3) \\ \\ y - 1 = (4)/(3) x + 4 \\ \\ y = (4)/(3) x + 5`
