Question

Use the first pair of points to do each of the following. The first pair is (-6,7), (6,-1)

1. Give the slope
2. Write the equation in point-slope form.
3. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
4. Write the equation of the line in standard form.
5. Give the x-intercept from standard form (remember, let y=0)
6. Give the y-intercept from standard form (remember, let x=0)

Answer 1

1) The slope is -2/3

2) y-7=-2/3(x+6)

3) y= -2/3x + 3

4) 2x+3y=9

5) (9/2,0)

6 (0,3)

Hope this helps!
