Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1, 2) and (6, 3) in slope-intercept form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x1 = -1

x2 = 6

y1 = 2

y2 = 3

Solution:

m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( 3 - 2 ) / ( 6 - -1 )

m = 1 / ( 6 + 1 )

m = 1/7

Then,

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 2 = 1/7 ( x - -1)

y - 2 = 1/7 ( x + 1 )

y - 2 = 1/7x + 1/7

y = 1/7x + 1/7 + 2

y = 1/7x + 15/7
