Answer:

y = -1/2(x -2)

or

y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

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

For point-slope form, you need two things:

  • A point (x1, y1)
  • The slope (m)

Given:

  • Points (-6, 4) and (2,0)

You already have at least one point, but you still need to find the slope.

To find the slope (m), use the formula: m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

  • Select which point is your (x2, y2) and which is your (x1, y1)
  • NOTE: It doesn't matter which one you pick as long as you don't "mix-and-match" your x and y-coordinates
  • For example: you can't choose (-6,0) for a point.

I've chosen:

  • (x2, y2) = (2, 0)
  • (x1, y1) = (-6, 4)

Plug in the info into m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1:

  • m = 0 - 4/2 -(-6) = -4/2 + 6 = -4/8
  • Simplify: -4/8 = -1/2
  • m = -1/2

Now plug in the slope and ONE of the points into point-slope form

  • Tip: It doesn't matter which point you choose but I'd recommend choosing the point with all positive numbers, if you can, to prevent the confusion of double negatives:

Answers could be:

  • y = -1/2(x -2)
  • y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Graph the function represented in the table on the coordinate plane.
Umnica [9.8K]
First find out the function for the given table.
Find the slope.
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-(-3)) / (-1-(-2))
m=(-1+3) / (-1+2)
m=2/1
m=2
Now equation of line:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-3)=2(x-(-2))
y+3=2(x+2)
y+3=2x+4
y=2x+1
Now plot these points on the graph, we get the attached graph.
