Question

I NEED HELP...finding the slope-intercept form equation

of the line passing through this points


(-12, 6) and (-36, 32)

Answer 1

Answer: y=-13/12x-7

Explanation:

To find the slope-intercept form, we first need to find the slope. To find the slope, you use the formula
`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`. We use the two given points to find the slope.

`m=(32-6)/(-36-(-12)) =(26)/(-24) =-(13)/(12)`

Now that we have our slope, we can start filling out the slope-intercept form equation.

y=mx+b

y=-13/12x+b

Since we don't know the y-intercept, we can use one of the given points and solve for b.

6=(-13/12)(-12)+b [multiply (-13/12) and -12]

6=13+b [subtract both sides by 13]

b=-7

With the y-intercept, we can complete our equation.

y=-13/12x-7
