Question

Create a linear equation in the slope-intercept form that contains points (2,−8) and (6,−4) .

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope:

-4 - (-8) ÷ 6 - 2

-4 + 8 ÷ 6 - 2

4 ÷ 4

= 1

Substitute into the slope-intercept equation:

y = mx + b

Let's use the first coordinate (2,-8) for the x and y values

m = 1

-8 = 1(2) + b

-8 = 2 + b

-2    -2

-10 = b

Write equation:

y = 1x -10 or y = x -10
