You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the line passing through (2, 4) and (-3, 8)
---------------
You need the slope and the intercept:
slope = (8-4)(-3-2) = -4/5
-----------------------------
Form: y = mx + b
You have m = -4/5 and y = 4 when x = 2 ; solve for "b":
4 = (-4/5)*2 + b ; b = 28/5
------------------------------
EQUATION:
y = (-4/5)x + (28/5)
======================
