Question

Write an equation that represents the line.
Use exact numbers.
slope

Answer 1

y + 2 = (4/5)(x - 2)

Explanation:

Two dots on the line are shown: (-3, -6) and (2, -2).

As we move from the first to the second, x (the 'run') increases by 5 and y (the rise) increases by 4. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 4/5.

Using the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h), we get:

y + 2 = (4/5)(x - 2)
