Given the two ordered pairs (2,-3) & (-6,-7), how do you write the equation of then line in slope intercept form? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Write an Equation Given Two Points 1 Answer Vinícius Ferraz Jul 12, 2015 #y = x/2 - 4# Explanation: #y = ax + b# #-3 = 2a + b# #-7 = -6a + b# #-3+7 = 2a + 6a# #4/8 = a = 1/2# #-3 = 2 * 1/2 + b# #-4 = b# Answer link Related questions How do you write an equation in slope intercept form given two points?
