Question

2. A line passes through points (-1,-2) and (1,4). What is the equation of the line? TI​

Answer 1

slope = "rise over run" the difference in y values divided by the difference in x values
= 6/-3 = -2 = m. It's negative because as x increases, y decreases

plug that into the point slope formula, with either point. generally use the most simple point
y-h= m(x-k) where m= -2 and (k,h) = (2,-2)

y+2 = -2(x-2)

simply if you want

Y = -2x +4 -2 = -2x +2

or

2x +y = 2
