Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope it is: change in y/change in x
or
y_1 - y_2/x_1 - x_2. It can also be the variable sub 2, minus sub 1.
For this it is:
-2-4/4-6
-6/-2
3
m = 3
Slope intercept form is y = mx+b. Now we can sub in m. y = 3x+b.
To find b, sub in numbers from one of the points for x and y. I'm going to use (4,-2). Since in this case, -2 = y, and 4 = x, then those are the numbers I'm going to replace x and y with.
-2 = 3(4) +b
-2 = 12+b
-14=b
If -14 = b, and 3 = m, then your equation is y = 3x-14
