Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line passing through the two points (0,-2) and (2,8)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!

We generally use double point formula for the equation of a st.line passing through points.

Here,

(0,-2) and (2,8) are two points.

Using two point formula,

`(y - y1) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) (x - x1)`

Put all values.

`(y + 2) = (8 + 2)/(2 - 0) (x - 0)`

Simplify them to get answer.

`(y + 2) = 5(x - 0)`

`y + 2 = 5x`

`y = 5x - 2`

Therefore therequired equation is y = 5x-2.
