Respuesta :

slope: (6-(-6))/(2-(-4))=12/6=2
y=2x+b
next, find b: 6=2*2+b =>b=2
so the equation is y=2x+2

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

[tex]A(-4,-6)\ B(2,6)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]m=\frac{6+6}{2+4}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{12}{6}=2[/tex]

step 2

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

we have

[tex]m=2[/tex]

[tex]B(2,6)[/tex]

substitute and solve for b

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex] ------> [tex]6=(2*2)+b[/tex]

[tex]6=4+b[/tex]

[tex]b=2[/tex]

The equation of the line is equal to

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