Write an equation of the line that passes through the points ( 2,6) and (- 8, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line that passes between the two points. Substitute the x and y values of (2,6) and (-8,1) into slope formula, . Then, solve:  

So, the slope is .

2) Now, write the equation of the line using the point-slope formula, . Substitute real values for , , and .

Since represents the slope, substitute in its place. Since and represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of one of the given points into the formula as well. (Any of the two will do. Either choice will represent the same line. I chose (2,6).) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find an
