Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (6,0) and (−1,−7)

Answer 1

Answer: y= 1x - 6

Explanation:

(6,0) (-1,-7)

0-(-7)= 7

6-(-1)= 7

7/7= 1 so the slope is 1 and we just need to find the y-intercept and we will do that by using the formula y= mx +b

-7= 1(-1) + b

-7= -1 + b

+1 + 1

b= -6 so the y-intercept is -6.
