Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line passing through each pair of points: (6,-2) and (3,-4)
\n" ); document.write( "You want y=mx+b; need to find m and b
\n" ); document.write( "m=[-2--4]/[3-6]=-2/3
\n" ); document.write( "b=-4+(2/3)3
\n" ); document.write( "b=-2
\n" ); document.write( "So, equation is y=(-2/3)x-2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line passing through each pair of points: (-8,2) and (0,6)
\n" ); document.write( "m=[6-2]/[0--8)]=4/8 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "6=(1/2)0+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=6
\n" ); document.write( "So, equation is y=(1/2)x+6
