Answer:
y = x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 10)
m = =
=
, thus
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, - 4) , then
- 4 = 7 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 7 = - 11
y = x - 11 ← equation of line
