Write an equation in slope intercept form that goes through (-1,6) and (3,-2)

First, we need to use slope formula* to find the slope.

Second, we use the slope we found and ONE of the 2 points listed and plug it into slope-intercept form** to solve for b.

Here is what we have so far:

I'm going to use this point:

Here is how to find b:

Finally, we put all of it together and we have our equation.

*Slope formula: m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

**Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

there is no grid
