Question 1060349: 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 +

The slope is change in y/change in x.
For line 1, it is 2/4 or 1/2
use point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is slope and (x1,y1) is point.
y-4=(1/2)(x+2)
y=(1/2)x+1+4=0.5x+5
-----------------------------
Line 2
slope is 4-(-2)/0-(-2)=6/2=3 is slope
y-4=3(x-0)
y=3x+4. Note: either point may be used.
