Question

Given two points on a line, (4,2) and (6, −8), write the equation of that line in Slope Intercept Form.

Answer 1

they are right

Explanation:

Answer 2

y= -5x +22

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

`\boxed{slope = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) }`

`slope = (2 - ( - 8))/(4 - 6)`

`m = (2 + 8)/( - 2)`

`m = (10)/( - 2)`

`m = - 5`

y= -5x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

When x= 4, y= 2,

2= -5(4) +c

2= -20 +c

c= 2 +20

c= 22

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -5x +22.
