Question

I need help solving this

Answer 1

Y=mx+b where m=slope=(dy/dx) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)

You have two points...(1,-2),(3,2) so

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2--2)/(3-1)

m=4/2=2 now that you have the slope...

y=2x+b, you can use either point to solve for the y-intercept, I'll use (3,2)

2=2(3)+b

2=6+b

b=-4 so the line is:

y=2x-4
