Question

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (4, 2) and (-2, -3)?

Answer 1

do you know the standard formula

y =mx +b

hope you can use it now ...

Answer 2

Jhonyy gave you the slope-intercept form

But not the first thing that you have to do is find the slope, or m.

\(\text{Slope} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

where you have two points \( (x_1, y_1)\) and \( (x_2,y_2)\)

So we're given two points (4, 2) and (-2, -3)
Can you replace the numbers with where they should go in the formula?
