Question 525306: Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (-4, 6) and (2, -6)
Answer by oberobic(2304)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
m = (y-y1)/(x-x1)
.
m = 6-(-6) / -4-2
m = 12 / -6
m = -2
.
y = -2x + b
.
use one of the points to find 'b'
.
6 = -2*-4 + b
6 = 8 +b
b = -2
.
y = -2x -2
.
