Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (-2, 15) and (6, 11). y =

Help!!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we have to use the slope formula:

Let's define the variables:

y2 = 11

y1 = 15

x2 = 6

x1 = -2

Now, plug them in to the equation to find the slope:

The slope is -1/2.

To find the y-intercept we have to use this equation:

Now, we can plug in one of the points given in the equation to solve for b (the y-intercept). I'm going to use point (6,11).

14 is the y-intercept.

Since we have both the slope and y-intercept the equation can be written:

I hope this helps!!
