Finding the Equation of a Line in Slope-Intercept Form

Allison, a math teacher, explains how to find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form. She uses two points to calculate the slope and then finds the Y-intercept by substituting one of the points into the equation. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps involved in deriving the equation.

What are the two points used in the example?

• (2, 3) and (5, 6)

• (5, 3) and (2, 6)

• (3, 2) and (6, 5)

• (3, 5) and (6, 2)

What is the y-intercept (b) in the equation y = 7/3x + b?

• -2

• -7

• 2

• 7

What is the final equation of the line in the example?

• y = 3/7x - 2

What is the purpose of using two points to find the equation of a line?

• To find the slope and y-intercept

• To find the midpoint

• To find the distance between points

• To find the x-intercept
