Question 481656: Graph the line containing the given pair of points and find the slope. (5,6) (-6,-2)

x1 y1 x2 y2
5 6 -6 -2

slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
( -2 - 6 )/( -6 - 5 )
( -8 / -11 )
m= 8/11 8/11

Plug value of the slope and point ( 5 , 6 ) in
Y = m x + b
6.00 = 3 5/8 + b
b= 6 3 5/8
b= 2 4/11
So the equation will be
Y = 5/7 x + 19/8
