MEDAL + FAN!!

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line passing through the pair of points.
(-1,6) (3, -6)

Answer 1

So I know we have to get slope first and the slope =6. So what now.

Answer 2

use this formula
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{_{1}})\]

Answer 3

I'm confused with which one is y1 and y2 and which one is x1 and x2?

Answer 4

x1=-1
y1=6
x2=3
y2=-6.
Is this ^^^^ right?

Answer 5

u r wrong... its slope isn't 6

Answer 6

u can choose any of them
(-1,6) or the other one

Answer 7

-4? um ok

Answer 8

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 9

Wait in your forumala what is just plain "y" is that supposed to be y2

Answer 10

substitute the value

Answer 11

that's the second step

Answer 12

to find the final answer
