Question

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. c Through the points (5,6) and (−1,4).

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y/change in x

OR

2nd point y minus 1st point y divide it by 2nd point x minus 1st point x.

So, slope = 4 - 6/(-1) -5 = -2/-6 = 1/3

y=mx+b

y=1/3x+b

Plug in any of the two points you were given to find y - intercept! I will plug in (5,6)

6=1/3(5)+b

6=5/3+b

6-5/3=13/3 so b=13/3

b is your y intercept so it will be the point on the y - axis. It should be between 4 and 5, but the point should be plotted closer to 4. Then move 1 up and 3 to the right to find your other points!
