Question

10. Write an equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form for the line.

Answer 1

We can use the points (2, -2) and (4, -1) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= -1-2/4-(-2)

= -3/6

= -1/2

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1/2(x + 2)

Solve for y-intercept.

-2 = -1/2(2)  + b

-2 = -1 + b

-2 + 1 = -1 + 1 + b

-1 = b

Slope Intercept Form: y = mx + b

y = -1/2x - 1
