Answer:

the slope is 2, so 2x+b=y

substitute the values into the equation

6+b=2

the y-intercept (b) is -4

y=2x-4

Answer:

Answer A

Explanation:

Slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1

2-6/3-5

-4/-2

Slope = 2

Plug into the equation with either (5,6) or (3,2)

6 = 2(5) + b

6 = 10 + b

b = -4

y = 2x - 4
