Plug in the values of p and q where you see them in the equation:
-(2+4)2 / (-6) - Distribute the -1
(-2-4)2 / (-6) - Distribute the 2
(-4-8) / (-6) - Subtract what's inside the parenthesis
(-12) / (-6) - Divide
The answer is 2
We can use the equation: y=mx+b
x represents the x-value, y represents the y-value, m represents slope, and b represent the y-intercept.
We must plug in what we know in order to find the value of b.
32 = 1.5*21 + b
32 = 31.5 + b
So b = 0.5
Now we know our equation is y = 1.5x + 0.5
We can find any other point on the line by plugging in any x-value. Let's try 5.
y = 1.5*5 + 0.5
So y =8 and our point is (5,8)
