Write an equation for a line passing through the points ( 1 , 6 ) and ( − 2 , 0 )
Write an equation for a line passing through the points (1,6) and (−2,0)
y=mx+b
6=mx+b
0=mx+b
6-0 = 6
6=mx+b
Now how do I proceed ?
6 =m(1)+b - m(-2)+b
(1)(-2)=-2
y=m(-2)+b
(6)-(-2)=8
y=-2x+8
Is what I did, but it's wrong.
