Question
Write an equation in slope–intercept form of the line with the given table of solutions, given properties, or given graph.$$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline x & y \\\hline 2 & 8 \\\hline 6 & -8 \\\hline\end{array}$$
Step 1
The slope is given by the formula change in y over change in x. From the table, we can see that y changes from 8 to -8, which is a decrease of 16. Similarly, x changes from 2 to 6, which is an increase of 4. Therefore, the slope is -16/4 = -4. Show more…
