Question

Find the equation in slope intercept form (-8,-2) and (-4,6

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope equation:

$m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

$m = \frac{6-(-2)}{-4-(-8)}\\m = \frac{8}{4}\\m = 2$

Next, find the y-intercept by subbing in one of the points and the slope into what you have so far in the equation:

(-8, -2)

y = mx + b

-2 = 2(-8) + b

-2 = -16 + b

-2 + 16 = b

b = 14

Now you have your final equation:

y = 2x + 14
