Question

write an equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form for each line: Passes through (3,-6) and (-1,2) 

Can u also show me how to do it please

Thank You!!!!

Answer 1

Slope intercept form is y=m(x)+b
M is the slope to find it you do the first y value minus the second y value and do the same for x
-6-2. 3+1
You then divide the subtracted y values by the subtracted x values
-8/4
M=-2
To find the b you plug in one set of the coordinates
-6=-2(3)+b
-6=-6+b
b=0
So the equation is
Y=-2x
