Can someone help me on this problem? I need to write the equation of the line passing through the given pairs of points. I need to write the result in slope-intercept form, where possible. (3, -2) and (6, 4) Thanks, ------------------------------ You need two formulas: y2 - y1 m = --------- x2 - x1 gives the slope m of the line that passes through the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) Then after calculating m, you substitute that and the values of x1 and y1 into the point-slope equation, which is: y - y1 = m(x - x1) Then solve for y. ------ Substitute (x1, y1) = (3, -2) and (x2, y2) = (6, 4) into y2 - y1 m = --------- x2 - x1 and you'll get m = 2 Then substitute x1 = 3, y1 = -2, and m = 2 into y - y1 = m(x - x1) leaving x and y as variables, and solve for y, and you'll get y = 2x - 8 This is the slope-intercept form y = mx + b because the slope is m = 2 and the y-intercept is -8.
