Question

A line intersects the points (0,-4) and (1,2) what is the slope intercept equation for this line?

Answer 1

`y=6x-4`

Explanation:

First we have to know how to write a equation in Slope-Intercept Form!

Slope-Intercept Form:
`y=mx+b`

where y = y axis, m = slope, x = x intercept and b = y-intercept

Now start by solving the slope

To find the Slope, you must find two points

Two points will be:
`(0,-4)` and
`(1,2)`

Then use the Slope-Formula to identify the slope

`m=slope`

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(2--4)/(1-0)`

`m=(6)/(1)`

`m=6`

The Slope is 6

The y-intercept is already given by the point (0, -4)

Note: (this goes to this situation because the point has a 0 of x intercept)
