Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -2) and
(-3, 3)?

Answer 1

y=5/3x+8

Explanation:

Find the slope of the line using the slope formula:

-2-(3)/-6-(-3) = -5/-3 = 5/3

Continue the line: if you keep going 3 more points to the left, the line will rise 5 points, shown by rise/run. Therefore the y-intercept is 8.

Write in y=mx+b form to get

y=5/3x+8
