__**WRITING THE EQUATION OF A LINE IN SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM WHEN GIVEN TWO POINTS**__ //By: Dani Rubenstein and Mollie Morgan// To write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form when you are given two points you must go through a series of steps to complete the process

Slope Intercept Formula- y=mx+b M= slope of line B= y intercept

// Example 1 //: Points Given- (3,2) (4,6)

1. Insert numbers into correct position according to formula 2. Solve and simplify equation The slope of the line containing these two points would be four
 * First** find the __slope__ by using the change in y over change in x formula

· Use substitution by inserting coordinates into appropriate position
 * Second** find the __y intercept__ by solving for b in the equation
 * Third** put equation together

Slope= 4 Y intercept= -10

Final Equation: **y=4x-10**

// Example 2: // Points Given- (2,7) (-5,6)


 * First:**


 * Second:**

// Example 3: // Points Given (1, 4), (2, ¾)
 * Third:**


 * First:**


 * Second:**
