Problema Solution
Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through
(-4,6)and(2,-6).
Answer provided by our tutors
slope = (-6 - 6)/(2 - -4)
slope = -12/6
slope = -2
y = mx + b where m is the slope, so
y = -2x + b
substitute in either point to solve for b
6 = -2(-4) + b
6 = 8 + b
-2 = b
so y = -2x -2 is the final equation
