Question

Write the Equation of a line that passes trough the pair (3,2)&(0,-4)

Answer 1

Start by finding the slope of the line by doing m(slope)=y2-y1 over x2-x1 using the pairs and then plug in the y and x of one of the points into the equation y=mx+b (y in the y and x in the x spot) and solve for b. Then plug the slope (can be a fraction shouldn’t be decimal) and y-intercept (b) back in the equation of a line above and you have your answer!
