Question

Write equation of a line through the points (4,2) and (6,-4)

Answer 1

y = -3x - 2

Explanation:

to find slope use m= y2-y1/x2-x1

m= -4-2/6-4

m= -6/2

m=-3

then use point slope formula (y-y1) =m(x-x1)

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

simplify

y-2 = -3x - 4

turn into slope intercept form

y = -3x - 2
