Question 512016: Find an equation for the line, in the indicated form, with the given properties.
Containing the points (-8,1) and (-6,-2); general form Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! m = (y - y1) / (x-x1)
.
m = (1-(-2)) / (-8-(-6)) = 3 / -2
.
m = -3/2
.
y = mx + b
.
y = -3/2x + b
.
Use one of the points to find 'b'.
.
1 = -(3/2)*(-8) + b
.
1 = 12 +b
.
b = -11
.
y = -3/2x -11
.
