Question

Slope please help algreab 1

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 5 )

m =
`(-5-1)/(-6-6)` =
`(-6)/(-12)` =
`(1)/(2)` , then

y =
`(1)/(2)` x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (6, 1 )

1 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 3 = - 2

y =
`(1)/(2)` x - 2 ← equation of line
