Question

Write the SLOPE INTERCEPT form equation given the following information * 3 8) through: (2, 2), slope

Answer 1

We have the following two points given:

`(x_1=3,y_1=8)(x_2=2,y_2=2)`

And we want to find the SLOPE intercept form equation given by:

`y=mx+b`

Where m represent the slope given by:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(2-8)/(2-3)=6`

And we can find the intercept b using one of the two points given like this:

`2=6(2)+b\rightarrow b=2-12=-10`

And then our equation would be given by:

`y=6x-10`
