Question

What would the equation be ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4/5x-18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope from the given points (-3,-6) (2,-2)

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

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

   (-2+6)/( 2+3)

  4/5

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y = mx +b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4/5 x +b

Substitute a point into the equation to find b

-6= 4/5(-3) +b

-6= -12/5 +b

Add 12/5 to each side

-6 +12/5 = -12/5 +12/5 +b

Get a common denominator

-30/5 + 12/5 = b

-18/5 =b

The equation is

y = 4/5x-18/5
