Question

How to turn (3,6) and (-6,0) in to slope intercept form

Answer 1

The equation for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. To begin, let's figure out the slope.

The slope equation is $m =\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

0 - 6 / -6 - 3 = -6/-9 = 2/3

The next step is plugging it in to find b.

6 = 2/3(3) + b

Simplify both sides.

6 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4 = b

Now that we have all the variables, plug in the slope (m) and b, and that should be your equation.

y = 2/3x + 4
