Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−2, 6) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

A. Y=2X-2
B. Y=2X+10
C. Y=0.5X+7
D. Y=0.4x-4

Answer 2

Do you have a guess?

Answer 3

i do not :( i dont know how to do this could you teach me ?

Answer 4

is this where you use the formula x1-x2 / y1-y2 ?

Answer 5

OOps! You switched the y and the x.
It should be y1-y2 / x1-x2, and yes, you would use the formula.

Answer 6

okay thank you again !

Answer 7

so i got -8/-4= 2 but what do i do next?

Answer 8

Yay, you got the slope! Now you plug in one of the points to the point slope form!
Remember
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 9

so i plug in -8 to what

Answer 10

Ok, choose one of your points. Which one would you like to use? You plug in -8 for m.

Answer 11

my points as in (-2,6)

Answer 12

Ok, now plug in -2 for x1 and 6 for y1

Answer 13

no no, what you would do is \[y-6=2(x+2)\]

Answer 14

y - 6 = 2x + 4

Answer 15

Answer would be
y = 2x + 10

Answer 16

:( thank you for your patience lol

Answer 17

No problem alexandra!
