Question

What is the equation in point-slope for the linear function whose graph contains points (1, -2) and (-3, 6)?

Answer 1

Answer:y+2 = 2(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope

(1,-2) (-3,6)

rise/run

change of y/change of x

8/-4

-2

The slope is -2

point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m is the slope, y1 is y coordinate of a point and x1 is x coordinate of same point as the y1 point.

lets use (1,-2)

y-(-2) = 2(x-1)

point slope form

y+2 = 2x-2

y = 2x-4

slope intercept form
