Answer 1

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (4, 2) and (-2, -3)?

Answer 2

I heard you the first time :)
Do you know how to find slope?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Okay, it's basically... difference of the y's divided by the difference of the x's.

Answer 5

ok how do i do this ? then What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (4, 2) and (-2, -3)?

Answer 6

What are the y-coordinates?

Answer 7

-3 and 2

Answer 8

That's right :)
What's their difference?

Answer 9

-5

Answer 10

Good. Now what about the x-coordinates?

Answer 11

4 and-2

Answer 12

Good... their difference?

Answer 13

6

Answer 14

Excellent. So the slope is the difference of the y's divided by the difference of the x's.
So what's the slope?

Answer 15

so it would be y=5/6x-4/3

Answer 16

Solve (x + 5 < 4) ∩ (x - 3 > -6)
