Question 93599: hello I am having a difficulty with the following equation: Write an equation of the line through (1,-3) and (-2,6). Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line through (1,-3) and (-2,6).
-------------
slope = [6--3] / [-2-1] = 9/-3 = -3
---------------
Form of the line is y = mx+b
You have m= -3 and y=6 when x=-2 so you can solve for "b":
6 = -3*-2+b
b = 0
EQUATION:
y = -3x
