what equation in slope intercept form represents the line that passes through points (6,10) and (1,-5)

Answer 1

First, we find the slope.

(10 - (-5))/(6 - 1) = 15/5 = 3

Now, we can do it 2 ways, using either point.

y - 10 = 3(x - 6)

y - 10 = 3x - 18

y = 3x - 8

orrr...

2. 10 = 3(6) + b

10 = 18 + b

b = -8

y = 3x - 8
