Question

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (4, -7.5) and (6, -3.5) in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer will be

y=2x-15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there you must know the slope-intercept form which is

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

You can also use

the slope formula which is

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

in this case

it will look like this

$\frac{-7.5-(-3.5)}{6-4}$=$\frac{-4}{2}$=-2

So the slope is -2

Now we will find the y-intercept

-7.5=2(4)+b

-7.5=8+b   Subtract 8 both sides

-15.5=b

Your y-intercept is -15.5

Hope this helps
