Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form.
y–6=_____(x–____)
The graph of the function goes through point negative 6, 6 and point negative 8, 2.

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form.
y–6=_____(x–____)
The graph of the function goes through point negative 6, 6 and point negative 8, 2.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Points on the line are (-6,6) and (-8,2).
y=mx+b for slope m and y-intercept b.

m=%286-2%29%2F%28-6-%28-8%29%29=4%2F2=2

b=y-mx
PICK EITHER GIVEN POINT AND EVALUATE b.

Then finish the equation.

YES. The equation IS highlight_green%28y=2x%2B18%29.
