Question

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (4.2) and (-2, -3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5/6x + -8

Step-by-step explanation:

you first need to find the gradient using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

the gradient would be 5/6.

the slope intercept form equation is y = mx + c. so by taking one of the points, 2 = 5/6(4) + c

12 = 5(4) + c

12 = 20 + c

c = 12 - 20

c = -8

hence, y = 5/4x + -8
