Question 176733: Can someone double check my work please.
Find the equation of the line passing through the two points.(2,9)and (0,6)
slope = (y^2 - y1)(x^2 - x1)
slope = (6 + 9)(0 + 2)
slope = 15/2
Did I do this right?

Not quite.

slope =

and

and

So: (you had + here instead of -)

You need the formula

where the 2 given points are
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) namely
(0,6) and (2,9)


multiply both sides by
