Find the slope intercept
(9,,-11)
y=

y=8x-67

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is what is the equation for the following two coordinate points?

Well to start off what is the formula? The formula is called the linear equation. Which is y=mx+b. What does these letters or "variables" mean or represent?! Welp, m stands for the slope, which is "Δy over Δx." Some people call say "the change of y over x." I call it the rise over run. So it is saying y over x. The b in the linear equation is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is when the line crosses the y-axis.

With that being said, let's find the slope. But how? Well with the Δy over Δx. The formula is y₂-y₁ over x₂-x₁. With the two coordinate points we can label them.

y₂=5

y₁=(-11)

x₂=9

x₁= 7

Now let set it up into the equation of y over x

Slope =   5- (-11) = 5 + 11   =  16 = 8

                  9-7         9-7          2

So we now have the slope! Which is 8! So put that into the linear equation!

y=8x+b

Next, we need to find b, the y-intercept! How do we do that well, we can figure it out by one of the coordinate points! Let use the (7, -11) point for example! Remember, x= 7 and y= (-11)

(-11) = 8(7) + b

(-11) = 56 + b

-56   -56

-67 =  b

We now have b, which is negative 67! So we need to put all the information we have found into the linear equation!

y=8x-67
