Question

write in slope intercept form:(2, 16) and (0, 10). please help :)

Answer 1

The equation for a straight line is given by

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the intercept.

The formula to calculate m is,

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{10-16}{0-2}=\frac{-6}{-2}=3 \end{gathered}$

Now the value of b can be calculated as, y intercept which here is, 10

Therefore, the required equation is, y=3x+10
