Question

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–9, –2) and (1, 3) is y – 3 = (x – 1). What is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line? y = x + 2 y = x – 4 y = x + y = x –

Answer 1

You are given y – 3 = (x – 1). We want to write this equation in the form y = mx + b.

y – 3 = (x – 1)

y - 3 = x - 1

y = x - 1 + 3

y = x + 2
