Use the point-slope formula to write an equation of the line given the following information. Write the final answer in slope-intercept form. The line passes through the points (-2,3) and (-1,1) . The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is
Added by Jayden P.
Step 1
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Using the given points (-2, 3) and (-1, 1), we have: x1 = -2, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = 1 m = (1 - 3) / (-1 - (-2)) m = (-2) / (1) m = -2 Show more…
