Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given points (-6,2) (1,0)

Answer 1

Y= (-2/7)x + (2/7)

Explanation:

0-2= -2

1-(-6)= 7

-2/7= -2/7. (slope)

y=mx+b

2=( -2/7)(-6)+b

2= 12/7 +b

2/7 =B

so Y= (-2/7) + (2/7)

I also plugged in the answer to make sure it matches up.
