The equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,6) and (4,-3) is what? First we find the slope by using the slope formula: m =where (x1,y1) = (-2,6) and where (x2,y2) = (4,-3) m = m = m = m = Then we use the point-slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1) where (x1,y1) = (-2,6) y - 6 = [x - (-2)] y - 6 = (x + 2) y - 6 = x - 3 y = x + 3 Edwin
