Question

Write the equation of a line that goes through the points (4, 8) and (-8, 2)

Answer 1

First you have to find the slope by subtracting y2 in this case (2) from y1 (8) dividing it over the subtraction of x2 (-8) and x1 (4) then once you get that you pick a point whether it’s (4,8) or (-8,2), plot it using the slope given to you and you’re done.
