Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line shown in the graph. Please show all of your work.
(-6, -6) (6, 4)

Answer 1

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4-(-6))/(6-(-6)) = 10/12 = 5/6

Answer 2

equation of the line:
y-y1 = M(x-x1)
y-(-6) = (5/6)(x-(-6))
y+6 = (5/6)(x+6)
y = (5/6)x + 5 - 6
y = (5/6)x - 1
