Find the slope-intercept equation of the line passing through the points (–3, –5) and
(6, –2).
Remember how to find the slope between two points ? ( y1-y2) /(x1-x2) = m = slope = 1/3
y = mx + b
y = 1/3 x + b sub in one of the points to calculate 'b'
-2 = 1/3 (6) + b then b = -4
y = 1/3 x -4
The slope intercept form is: y=mx+b
First you need to find the slope (m). m=y2−y1x2−x1.
m=−2−(−5)6−(−3)
m=13
Next, you find the y-intercept, or b. You can plug in any of the 2 points like this: y=13x+b
−2=13⋅6+b
2+b=−2
b=−4
So our final answer is y=13x−4
