Question

Write an equation for the line passing through the points (3,-6) and (-9,-6) y=mx+b format.

Answer 1

y=-6

Explanation:

First, find the slope of the two coordinates using the slope formula:

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

Plug the numbers into the formula and solve:

-6--6/-9-3 = 0

Now,use the slope and one of the coordinates to put the line in point-slope form

Point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+6=0(x-3)

Simplify

y+6=0-0

y=-6
