Question

A line contains the points (6, -8) and (0, -4). What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

`y = -(2)/(3)x - 4`

Explanation:

Starting from the second endpoint of [6, -8], you do rise\run by moving four blocks north over six blocks west [west and south are negatives] to the y-intercept of [0, -4].

`-(2)/(3) = -(4)/(6)`
