Question

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? (1, 10) (-3, 2)

Answer 1

(1,10)(-3,2)
slope = (2-10) / (-3-1) = -8/-4 = 2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(1,10)...x = 1 and y = 10
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
10 = 2(1) + b
10 = 2 + b
10 - 2 = b
8 = b

equation is : y = 2x + 8.....or 2x - y = -8
