Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, −1) and (3, −7)?

Respuesta :

atso

Answer:

[tex]y=2x-13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(6, −1) and (3, −7)

First, you find the slope of the two points.

[tex]\frac{-7-(-1)}{3-6} = \frac{2}{1} =2[/tex]

Then, you substitute slope and a point into the y = mx + b equation.

[tex]-1 = 2(6) + b[/tex]

Next, you solve the equation to find b.

[tex]-1 = 2(6) + b\\-1 = 12 + b\\-13 = b[/tex]

Finally, you have your slope and y-intercept. Now you just write your equation.

[tex]y=2x-13[/tex]
