I have to find the equation for the line that passes through (4,3) and (6,2) How would I solve this.

Into point slope form
Into slope intercept form

I got the slope each is -1/2
then I got y=-1/2x + b

How would I get b?

plug in one of the given points, then solve for b

e.g. using (4,3)

3 = (-1/2)(4) + b
etc.

(I get b=5)

ok
thank you again
