Question 1113172: Please help me :)

Complete the equations of the system in slope-intercept form. Use a decimal for the slope if necessary.

Line 1
x y
–2 4
2 6

Line 2
x y
–2 –2
0 4

Line 1: y = x +
Line 2: y = x +

equation in slope-intercept form: where is a slope and is y-intercept
Line 1

...use given and to find and
if and , we have
...solve for
....eq.1

if and , we have
...solve for
....eq.2
since eq.1 and eq.2 have same left sides, right sides must be equal too; so, we have
...solve for





go back to eq.1, plug in
....eq.1



so, Line 1:

Line 2

| -> this shows you that line 2 passes through origin; so, y-intercept
use that and other given and values to find
...solve for


so, Line 2:
