Answer:
The equation of the line is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line:
The equation of a line has the following format:
In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Two points:
We have these following two points in this exercise:
x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)
x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)
Finding the slope:
Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.
Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6
Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10
So
Then
Finding b:
We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).
The equation of the line is:
Answer:
Place the coefficients in the right place.
