What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, 2) and (-4, -1)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Answer (assuming the equation can be written in point-slope form):

Step-by-step explanation:  

When knowing a point the line crosses through and its slope, you can write an equation in point-slope form, or .

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula and the x and y values of the two points given, then solve like so:

Thus, the slope is .

2) Now, use point-slope form, . Substitute the , , and for real values.

The represents the slope, so substitute in its place. The and represent the x and y values of one point the line crosses through. Any of the two points will work, and I chose (-6,2) for this answer. So, substitute -6 for

answer: the answer to your question is parallel
