Write the equation in slope-intercept form that contains the following two points. (4, -1) (-2, 8)

y = -3/2 x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m= (8--1)/(-2-4)

m= (8+1)/(-2-4)

m= (9/-6)

m=-3/2

point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y--1 = -3/2(x-4)

distribute

y+1 = -3/2x +3/2 *4

y+1 = -3/2x + 6

subtract 1 from each side

y = -3/2 x +6-1

y = -3/2 x +5

this is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
