Question

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through the

given points. (2,-1) (6,3) *

Answer 1

y = x - 3

Explanation:

First, you need to find the slope from the two given points.

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= 3 - (-1) / 6 - 2

= 1

The slope is 1x or simply x.

For the y-intercept, you need to plug one of the coordinates into the equation, which is y = x + b

3 = 6 + b

-3 = b

So the equation is y = x - 3
