Question

Write the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through the points (1,−6) and (9,−5).

Complete the equation in the space below (do not enter "y = ").

Answer 1

Explanation:

Point slope form y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

-5 - (-6) = m(9 - 1)

1 = m(8)

1/8 = m

y= 1/8x + b

-6 = 1/8(1) + b

b = -6.125

y = 1/8x -6.125
