What is an equation of the line passing between(4, -6) and (12, -8)?*

y= -1/4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find the slope.

to do this you can use the equation: change in y/change in x which is also y2 - y1/x2-x1

-8 - (-6)/12-4

-2/8

-1/4 = slope

since the line's equation is y = mx + b, we still need to find the y-intercept. we can do this by just plugging in one of the points

-6 = -1/4(4) + b

-6 = -1 + b

-5 = b

so the final equation is y= -1/4x - 5
