<PRE><B>Question 55967</B>
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line passing through each pair of points: (6,-2) and (3,-4)
You want y=mx+b; need to find m and b
m=[-2--4]/[3-6]=-2/3
b=-4+(2/3)3
b=-2
So, equation is y=(-2/3)x-2
---------------------- 
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line passing through each pair of points: (-8,2) and (0,6)
m=[6-2]/[0--8)]=4/8 = 1/2
6=(1/2)0+b
b=6
So, equation is y=(1/2)x+6
