Write an equation in slope-intercept form of
the line that passes through (-6,4) and
(-1,2).


Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6 , 4)  & (-1 , 2)

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

         [tex]= \frac{2-4}{-1-[-6]}\\\\= \frac{-2}{-1+6}\\\\= \frac{-2}{5}[/tex]

m = -2/5   & (-6 , 4)

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

[tex]y - 4 = \frac{-2}{5}(x - [-6])\\\\y - 4 = \frac{-2}{5}(x + 6)\\\\y - 4 = \frac{-2}{5}x + 6*\frac{-2}{5}\\\\y = \frac{-2}{5}x -\frac{12}{5}+4\\\\y=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{12}{5}+\frac{4*5}{1*5}\\\\y=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{12}{5}+\frac{20}{5}\\\\y=\frac{-2}{5}x+\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
