Question

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (-9, -2) and (1, 3) is y-3 = {(x - 1). What is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?
O y = 2 x + 2
O y = 2 x - 4
O y = 2 x + 3 / 3
O y = 1/2 x - 1 / 2

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1/2x - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

The m is the slope of the line and the b is the y-intercept.

You must first the slope. The formula of a slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). In this example it is (-2-3)/(-9-1) which equals 1/2. By order of elimanation we can see that y=1/2x-1/2 is correct.
