Question

A line contains the points (3, -4) and (0, 2). What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. y = –2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change [slope]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m

$\frac{4 + 2}{-3 + 0} = -\frac{6}{3} = -2$

In this case, the y-intercept of [0, 2] is ALREADY given to you, so we would not have to go further.
