Answer:

y = -1/2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps to solve this include finding the slope of the line and finding the point where the line crosses the y axis.

Slope is Rise over Run or difference of the y values over the difference of the x values.

Rise = difference between -6 and -2 = 4

Run = difference between 6 and -2 = 8

So slope is 4/8.  The line slants downward from left to right so the slope is also negative.  Slope = - 4/8 or simplified to - 1 / 2

To find the y intercept, use the slope-intercept form equation:

y = mx + b where m is your slope and b is the y intercept.  Solve for b and use one or both of your points that you were given along with your slope.

-6 = -1/2(6) + b      OR    -2 = -1/2(-2) + b

-6 = - 3 + b                      -2 = 1 + b

-3 = b                                -3 = b

Now you can use your calculated slope and calculated b to form your equation.

y = mx + b

y = - 1/2x -3

\frac{3}{2}+\frac{2x+1}{6}=-1<br> 2<br> 3<br> ​ <br> + <br> 6<br> 2x+1<br> ​ <br> =−1
malfutka [58]

Answer:

\frac{3}{2}  +  \frac{2x + 1}{6}  =  - 1 \\ 3 +  \frac{2x + 1}{3}  =  - 2 \\  \frac{9 + 2x + 1}{3}  =  - 2 \\ 10 + 2x =  - 6 \\ 2x =  - 16 \\ x =  - 8
