Question

The equation in slope-intercept form that passes through (-3, 7) and (6, 1) is?

Answer 1

(-3,7) (6,1)

slope of a line through the points is (7-1)/(-3-6) = 6/-9 =-2/3

y=mx+b

y=-2x/3 +b

1 =-2(6)/3 + b, plug in either point to solve for b

b = 1+4 =5

y=(-2/3)x +5

Answer 2

You'll need to find the "m" and "b" given in the form y = mx + b

Slope = 1 - 7 / 6 - -3 = -6/9 = -2/3 (using slope formula)

Therefore m = -2/3.

To find "b", substitute the "m = -2/3" and a given coordinate point on the line (6,1) into "y = mx + b"

1 = (-2/3)(6) + b

1 = -4 + b

b = 5

Therefore in slope intercept form,

y = (-2/3)x + 5
