Question

Complete the equation of the line through (-8,-2) and (-4,6). Use exact numbers.

Y=

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the slope by using

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

In other words,

$\frac{ - 2 - 6}{ - 8 + 4}$

The slope is 2.

Then you plug the rest into point-slope form (you can use either of the points, I used the first one)

$y - y1 = m(x - x1)$

Remember that m is the slope.

$y + 2 = 2(x + 8)$

Distribute the slope to the parenthesis

$y + 2 = 2x + 16$

Isolate the y variable

$y = 2x + 14$
