Question

write the equation for the line that passes through points (-3,-6) and (3,2)

Answer 1

y2-y1=m(x2-x1) <will give your equation

m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 2

so then the equation would just be m=(-3+3)/(-6-2)

Answer 3

this is the format (x,y)

Answer 4

it doesnt matter which pair you chose but it has to remain the same..
ex
m = (2+6) / (3+3)

Answer 5

m is the slope of the line.

Answer 6

hope that helped.. solve for m then you can write it in slope intercept form.. but im sure point slope is acceptable too ie y= mx+b (its my favorite)

y=4/3x-2
