Question

Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-6,1) and (-4,2).

Answer 1

Find the slope by using the formula:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = m
then use point slope form:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

what does that mean?

Answer 3

the slope is -1?

Answer 4

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)
(-6, 1) (-4, 2)
now just plug it in

Answer 5

I did that part how do i do the other equation?

Answer 6

(2-1)/(-4-(-6))
(1)/(2) != -1

Answer 7

it's 1/2. that is your SLOPE
now use the point slope form.
plug in M, x1,y1
then set it equal to y.
u should have y=mx+b
