Question

A line contains the points (3,1) and (-6,4) what is the equation for this line in slope intercept form

Answer 1

m = -⅓

Explanation:

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

m = (4 -1)/(-6-3)

m = -⅓

Answer 2

y = (-1/3)x + 2

Explanation:

Since points (3,1) and (-6,4) lie on y = (-1/3)x + c , it should satisfy the this equation. Thus, intercept is 2.
