1. Finding the equation of a line
Given two points

2. Example 1. A line passes through the points (-2, 5) and (6, -1)
Find the slope of the line
Find the equation of the line
Replace m, x and y
Use the point (-2, 5)

3. Example of y=mx+b formula Part 1
State the slope, the y-intercept, and the equation for the line on the grid.
First you must find the slope by finding 2 points on the grid where the line for sure passes over. The two points I
picked are (1,5) and (-3,-1). You could use the formula to find the slope, or you could just count. Either way the slope
would end up being 3/2.
Now you have to find the y-intercept.To do so you must substitute in a point on the
graph like this.
Substituting Point (1,5): A
The y-intercept is 7/2.
Now that you have all the parts to get the
equation, all you do is put them into their
proper place like so:
Slope=
Y-intercept=
So the equation for line AB= B
