Solution
The slope of a line passing through two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=x2−x1y2−y1.
We have that x1=−3, y1=3, x2=18, and y2=26.
Plug the given values into the formula for a slope: m=18−(−3)26−3=2123.
Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−mx1 (or b=y2−mx2, the result is the same):
b=3−(2123)⋅(−3)=744
Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=b+mx:
y=2123x+744
Answer
The slope of the line is m=2123≈1.095238095238095A.
The y-intercept is (0,744)≈(0,6.285714285714286)A.
The x-intercept is (−23132,0)≈(−5.739130434782609,0)A.
The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=2123x+744≈1.095238095238095x+6.285714285714286A.
