Answer:

y = -2x + 4 or y = -2(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of Line AB

  • y = mx + c
  1. m = slope
  2. c = y-intercept

Finding slope (m)

  • m = -2 - 6 / 3 + 1
  • m = -8/4
  • m = -2

Finding c using point slope equation

  • c - 6 = -2(0 + 1)
  • c - 6 = -2
  • c = 4

Equation

  • Line AB : y = -2x + 4 or y = -2(x - 2)

Answer:

The easiest way to do this is to put the line into slope intercept form. This is equal to y = mx + b, where m is the slope and y is the intercept. I'm assuming the point at which the line intercepts the y axis is at (0, 4) The graph isn't numbered, so its hard to tell.

Assuming b = 4, we need to find m

Slope = rise / run

Or

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \\[/tex]

Substitute -2 for y2, 6 for y1, 3 for x2 and -1 for x1

[tex]m = \frac{-2 - 6}{3 - -1}\\ m = \frac{-8}{4}\\m = -2[/tex]

Plug these values in and

[tex]y = -2x + 4[/tex]

When you graph this on desmos, the two points (-1, 6) and (3, -2) are on the graph. Therefore, I'm assuming the y intercept was in fact 4 :)
