Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3,6) and (8, 4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

the one ur on is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

First, we must determine the slope of the line using slope formula*.

$m = \frac{4 - 6}{8 - 3} = \frac{-2}{5} = -\frac{2}{5}$

Now that we have our slope, we find the y-intercept, or b, by pluging in the slope we found and one of the given points into slope-intercept form**.

$6 = -\frac{2}{5}(3) + b\\\\6 = -\frac{8}{5} + b\\\\ \frac{36}{5} = b$

We can now create the equation of the line.

• $m = -\frac{2}{5}$

• $b = \frac{36}{5}$

The equation of the line is:  $y = -\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{36}{5}$
