<PRE><B>Question 97147</B>
Find the equation of the line that goes through the following set of points.
(-4,10) (2,6)
------------
Line equation: y=mx+b; need to find m and b
-----------
m = [10-6]/[-4-2] = 4/-6 = -2/3
-----------
Substitute a point and m into the equation form to solve for b:
10=(-2/3)(-4)+b
10 = 8/3 + b
30/3 - 8/3 = b
b = 22/3
=============
EQUATION:
y = (-2/3)x + 22/3
