(-6,1) , (2,5)
how do i sove this problem in equation in slope-intercept form
First, determine the slope. The formula is
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (5 - 1) / (2 - (-6))
m = 4 / 8
m = 1/2
Use either of the co-ordinate pairs to find b.
y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = 5 - (1/2)2
b = 5 - 1
b = 4
The equation is y = (1/2 x) + 4
