Write and equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (-5,-12) and (1,6)
The equation is y=

Step 1: We need to use slope formula* to determine what m (or the slope) is.

Step 2: Now we use this slope, ONE of the given points, and slope-intercept form** to determine b.

Step 3: The final answer can now be found by using the slope and y-intercept (or b) that we just found.

*Slope formula

*Slope-intercept Formula

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
