Solution

We have given the points as (5,2) and (-3,6) we know that the slope = difference in y coordinate/difference in x coordinate m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) applying the values of x1 = 5, y1 = 2, x2 = -3 and y2 = 6, we will get m = (6 - 2)/(-3 - 5) m = 4/-8 = -1/2 now, we know that the slope intercept form as y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1) + b we will plug the values we have given for x1, y1, x2 and y2 into the slope intercept formula to get the value of b (6 - 2) = -(1/2)(-3 - 5) + b 4 = -(1/2)(-8) + b 4 = 4 + b b = 0 we will get the slope point form as y = (-1/2)x + 0 y = (-1/2)x Hope this will help yoU!
