Question

find the equation for the line passing through (3,-8) and (1,-2)

Answer 1

1)Find slope
2)put into point-slope form
3)change to slope-intercept form

Answer 2

1)Find Slope:
y - y over x - x
-8 -(-2) = -6
3 - 1 = 2
-6/2 = -3/1
slope: -3

Answer 3

2) Point slope:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-8) = -3(x - 3)
y + 8 = -3x + 9

Answer 4

3) Change to Slope-intercept form

y + 8 = -3x + 9
-8
y = -3x + 9 - 8
y = -3x + 1
Slope-intercept form:
y = -3x + 1
