Question 136639: write an equation in slop-intercept form for the line passing through each pair of points (9,-1) (6,-2) if you could talk me through this problem that would be great! Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST YOU NEED TO FIND THE SLOPE (m).
m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
m=(-2+1)/(6-9)
m=-1/-3=1/3
NOW REPLACE THE X & Y TERMS IN THE LINE EQUATION [Y=mX+b] & SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT (b).
-1=9*1/3+b
-1=9/3+b
b+3=-1
b=-1-3
b=-4 THE Y INTERCEPT.
Y=X/3-4 IS THIS LINE EQUATION. (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 15, y from -10 to 10, x/3 -4).
