A line intersects the points (0, -4) and
(1, 2). What is the slope-intercept
equation for this line?
y = [?]x+[

Respuesta :

Equation is y = 6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the slope of the line using m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) Here x1 = 0, x2 = 1, y1 = -4, y2 = 2

⇒ m = (2 - -4)/(1 - 0) = 6

  • Step 2: Find y-intercept, b. Since the line passes through (0, -4) b = -4
  • Step 3: Form the slope-intercept equation

y = 6x - 4
