Write an equation in slope intercept form that goes through (-1,6) and (3,-2)

First, we need to use slope formula* to find the slope.

Second, we use the slope we found and ONE of the 2 points listed and plug it into slope-intercept form** to solve for b.

Here is what we have so far:

I'm going to use this point:

Here is how to find b:

Finally, we put all of it together and we have our equation.

*Slope formula: m = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

**Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
