What is the equation of this graphed line?
Enter your answer in slope-intercept form in the box.

The slope-intercept form:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have the points (2, 6) and (-4, -6). Substitute:
[tex]m=\dfrac{-6-6}{-4-2}=\dfrac{-12}{-6}=2[/tex]
Therefore we have the equation
[tex]y=2x+b[/tex]
Put the coordinates of the point (2, 6) to the equation:
[tex]6=2(2)+b[/tex]
[tex]6=4+b[/tex] subtract 4 from both sides
[tex]2=b\to b=2[/tex]
Answer: [tex]\boxed{y=2x+2}[/tex]
Answer:
y = 2x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two points so we can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (6--6)/ (2--4)
= (6+6)/(2+4)
=12/6
=2
We can use point slope form to make an equation of a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y--6 = 2(x--4)
y+6 =2(x+4)
Distribute
y+6 = 2x+8
Subtract 6 from each side
y+6-6 = 2x+8-6
y = 2x+2
This is in slope intercept form
y= mx+b
