<PRE><B>Question 433095</B>
 A line passes through these points: (1,6) and (9, -4).
Could you please write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form and show me how step-by-step? 
-------------------------
slope = (-4-6)/(9-1) = -10/8 = -5/4
------------------
Form: y = mx+b
You have y = 6 when x = 1 and you have m=-5/4
-------------------
6 = (-5/4)*1 + b
b = 6+(5/4)
---
b = 29/4
-------
Equation:
y = (-5/4)x+(29/4)
