Question

Write an equation for (4,6) and (-4,0)

Answer 1

Not an equation for those 2 points, but rather "the equation of the line thru (4,6) and (-4,0).

                       6 - 0
Slope?  m = ----------- = 6/8  = 3/4
                       4 -(-4)

Equation?  Start with y = mx + b.  Then 6 = (3/4)(4) + b, or 6 = 3 + b.  b = 3.

The desired equation is y = (3/4)x + 3.
