Question

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form, Passing through the point (1,-6) and (-1,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

to find the slope(m) you need to plug your numbers into the equation y(2)-y(1)/x(2)-x(1)

which means subtract the Y's together and the X's together and put the quotient of the Y's on top. Note that you have to choose a set of number to be the first group and the other set as the second group

so (0-6)/(-1-1) = -6/-2 = 3

3 will be your slope. plug that and a set of your numbers into the slope intercept equation

0=3(-1)+b

0=-3+b

3=b

y=3x+3
