Question

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (6, -7) and (8,5). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = 6x - 43

Explanation:

(6, -7) and (8,5)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(5 + 7)/(8 - 6)

m= 12/2

m = 6

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 7 = 6(x - 6)

y + 7 = 6x - 36

y = 6x - 43
