Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line shown (1,-3) (3,1)

Answer 1

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope intercept formula y2 - y1 / x2 -x1...

You get a slope of 2 so y = 2x +b

Then to find b the intercept, you plug in one of the coordinates like so...

1 = 2(3) + b

Then solve to get an intercept of -5.

So the slope-intercept form would be...

y = 2x - 5
