Write the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 6) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I've solved the slope as 1/2, but I don't know what else to do.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Just kidding the slope is 2
OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):
use y=mx+c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do I solve for b?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):
try using b = y - mx
OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):
c is the y intercept
see when x=0 what is the y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I thought b was the y intercept ;n;
OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):
b and c are same, i am taking it c and you are taking b
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
you know m=2
use x=-2 and y=6
b = y -mx
b = 6 -2*-2
b = 6 + 4
b = 10

OHHHHHH I remember now. Thanks. I appreciate it.
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
Therefore, y = 2X + 10
OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):
good job @wolf1728
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
thanks arind :-)

One more...
Write the equation of a line with a slope of –1 and a y-intercept of –6.
I got y = –x – 6.
