Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (4, 8) and (0, -2).

Answer 1

(0,-2) IS your intercept so all you need to do is determine the slope

Answer 2

subtract your points and stack y/x for the slope

Answer 3

Could you guide me through the first step please?

Answer 4

(4 , 8)
-(0,-2)
------
? , ?

Answer 5

(4, 10) ?

Answer 6

good :)

now slope = y/x; slope = 10/4, and reduce

Answer 7

Would y = 5/2 x - 2 be the answer?

Answer 8

now, since slope intercept forms is:

y = slope x + intercept

we just fill in the pieces

Answer 9

thats it

Answer 10

okay thanks :)

Answer 11

good job

Answer 12

So for this would I do

Determine the slope of the line which passes through these two points: (-1, 3) and (6, 9).

(-1 , 3)
- (6, 9)
