Answer 1

\[m=\frac{ -3-6 }{1-4 }=\frac{ -9 }{ -3 }= 3\]

Answer 2

After this I can choose any two points, correct?

Answer 3

the -3 up top should be +3

Answer 4

give it another shot and tell me what slope you get

Answer 5

you should have

\[\Large m = \frac{3-6}{1-4} = ??\]

Answer 6

\[m=\frac{ 3 }{ -3 }\]

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

\[\Large m = \frac{3-6}{1-4} = \frac{-3}{-3} = 1\]

you lost a sign when you computed 3-6

Answer 9

oh yeah!!!

Answer 10

Now, I am going to find b but i get confused doing this part

Answer 11

I want to use the point (1,3)

Answer 12

\[3=1(1)+b\]

Answer 13

so far, so good

Answer 14

\[3=1+b\]

Answer 15

yep, also correct, now isolate b
