Question

A line passes through (2, -1) and (8, 4).Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Find Slope

2 is x1, 8 is x2, (-1) is y1, 4 is y2

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

4-(-1)    = 5

8-2         6

2. Point- slope form:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - (-1) = (5/6) (x - 2)

in the end

y= 5/6x - 8/3

this is the slope intercept form y=mx +/- b
