Find an equation of each line, and write it in slope intercept form
through (-2,3) and (6,-1)
In order to write the equation of a line, we need a slope and a point. We don't have a slope, but we can find it when given two points, using the slope formula:
(x1,y1)=(-2,3) and (x2,y2)=(6,-1)




Now we can use the point slope formula to find the equation of a line:, m=slope, (x1,y1)=a given point.
m=-1/2 and (x1,y1)=(-2,3)






This is in slope intercept form:
Happy Calculating!!!
