Question

What is an
equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -1) and (6, 1)?

Answer 1

y = 1/3x -1

Explanation:

The slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

y2 is 1

y1 is -1

x2 is 6

x1 is 0

So it is 1 - (-1) / 6 - 0, or 2/6, or 1/3

The slope is 1/3.

The y-intercept is the place where x is 0. It shows the y-intercept here as

(0, -1), The y-intercept is -1

Slope form is y = mx + b. m is the slope, 1/3, and b is the y-intercept, -1

So the equation is: y = 1/3x -1
