If the slope of a line and a point on the line are known, the equation of the line can be found using the slope-intercept form
, y = mx + b. To do so, substitute the value of the slope and the values of x and y using the coordinates of the given point, then determine the value of b. Using the above technique, find the equation of the line containing the points (-4,7) and (2,-2). What is the equation of the line?
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)
