Answer 6

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:
(2,3) and (-4,-5).
First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b
Where:
m is the slope, and
b is the y-intercept
First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

the most important this is the slope formula
