What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through the points (2, 6) (0, 4)

Answer 1

to find b, use either of the 2 given pointsusing (2,0) substitute into equation to find b⇒0=(−3×2)+b⇒b=6⇒y=−3x+6←

Answer 2

y = x + 4

Explanation:

first calculate slope:

m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

m = (6-4)/(2-0)

m = 1

intercept:

y = 1(x) + b

plug in value

4 = 1(0) +b

b =4

finally we arrive at

y = 1(x) + 4

which can be written as

y = x +4
