Question

What is this equation in Slope-Intercept Form with the following information

Passes through (-6, 1) and (-3, 7)


y = 2x +1


y = 5x +3


y = x+12


y = -2x - 11

Answer 1

Slope m = (7 − 1)/(−3 − (−6)) = 6/3 = 2.

Use y = mx + b with (−6,1): 1 = 2(−6) + b → 1 = −12 + b → b = 13.

So the line is y = 2x + 13. This is not one of the four choices listed.
