The way that you find this problem is to first find the slope, and then input one of your points into your equation to find b.
The slope-intercept form of a line is: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To find the slope, you must use the following equation:
\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this equation, this would be equivalent to:\frac{-6-(-5)}{-7-(-1)} which, when simplified, is \frac{1}{6}. This is your slope.

To find the Y-intercept, you just plug all variables that you currently have solved for into the equation. You may use either point for the x and y variables, but you must use \frac{1}{6} for the m term.

-6 = (\frac{1}{6})(-7) + b leads to -6 = \frac{-7}{6} +b which leads to \frac{-29}{6} = b. You have now solved for the y-intercept and aare ready to form your final equation.

The final equation is:y=\frac{1}{6}x -\frac{29}{6}

How does product (result) of (a-b)2 compare the product (a+b)
____ [38]
I'm assuming you mean (a-b)^2 : (a+b)^2

a^2 + b^2 cancel out leaving

-2ab versus +2ab

Therefore (a+b)^2 is +4ab greater.
