Question

Equation in slope intercept form between points (1,-4) and (0,6)?

Answer 1

Find the gradient:
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
m = 6-(-4) / 0-1
m = 10 / -1
m = -10

Slope intercept form:
y = mx + c

Input the values from one of the points to find c (imputing (1,-4) to y=mx+c):
-4 = -10(1) + c
-4 = -10 + c
c = -4 + 10
c = 6

Therefore, the equation is:
y = -10x + 6
