Question

What is the slope intercept form of the line that passes through the following pints? (-4,5) (-2,-6)?

Answer 1

y=-11/2x-6

Explanation:

1. Find the slope of the line

Equation to find slope: y2-y1

x2-x1

6-5= -11

-2-(-4)=2

2. Put slope and one corrdinate pair into point slope form

Point Slope Form: y=m(x-x1)+y1

y=-11/2(x-(-4))+5

y=-11/2x-11+5

y=-11/2x-6

^Slope Intercept Form (y=mx+b)
