Question

Given the coordinates S(-3,6) and T(4, -8). Find the equation of the line that passes through the two points and write the equation in slope-intercept form. (y=mx + b)

Answer 1

m=slope

y= intercept

m=y2-y1 /x2-x1 -8 - 6= -14

4- -3 = 7

-14/7 a 2 is your slope

y=2x=b

Now we find for X

choose a y from one of your points : lets use 6 Plug 6 in for y s(-3,6)

y=2x+b

6=2(-3) +b

now solve for b

6= -6 + b

now add 6 to both sides to get b alone

6+6 =6+-6 +b

12=b

now write you equation out y=2x =12
