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

Question

do you know the standard formula

y =mx +b

hope you can use it now ...

AZ · Answer

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?
