Question

Graph the line that passes through the points (6, 1) and (-3, -5)

and determine the equation of the line.

Answer 1

y=2/3x-3

Explanation:

First, find the slope of the line. Which is (1+5)/(6+3)=6/9=2/3.

Next, we find the y-intercept. Which is (0, -3).

We have the equation y=2/3x-3. To graph the line just plot the two points in the equation, and the y-intercept. Then draw a straight line.
