Question

Find the equation for a line which passes through the points (–1, 2) and (–3, 8). Write the
equation in slope-intercept form

anonymous · Answer

y = mx +b 

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

y2 = 8
y1 = 2
x2 = -3
x1 = -1

plug in the slope and one of the ordered pairs (x,y) into the equation to solve for b.
