Answer:
y = - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 3)
m = =
= 3
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute any of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (4, 3), then
3 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 12 = - 9, hence
y- intercept c = - 9 ⇒ (0, - 9 )
