Question

What is the y-intercept of the line that passes through (-6,2) and (4,-2) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) =  

ΔY

ΔX

=  

-2

5

= -0.4

θ =  

arctan( ΔY ) + 360°

ΔX

= 338.19859051365°

ΔX = 4 – -6 = 10

ΔY = -2 – 2 = -4

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √116 = 10.770329614269

Equation of the line:

y = -0.4x – 0.4

or

y =  

- 2 x

5

–  2

5

When x=0, y = -0.4

When y=0, x = -1

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) =  

ΔY  

ΔX  

=  

-2  

5  

= -0.4  

θ =  

arctan( ΔY ) + 360°  

ΔX  

= 338.19859051365°  

ΔX = 4 – -6 = 10  

ΔY = -2 – 2 = -4  

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √116 = 10.770329614269  

Equation of the line:  

y = -0.4x – 0.4  

or  

y =    

- 2 x

When x=0, y = -0.4  

When y=0, x = -1
