Question

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (12, -34) and (10, -28)?

Answer 1

`y=-2x+2`

Explanation:

1) Determine Slope

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x1)` =
`(-28-(-34))/(10-12)` =
`(6)/(-2)` = -3

2) Use point slope form to create equation

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

`y-(-28)=-3(x-10)`

`y+28=-2x+30`

`y=-2x+2`
