6. Describe why the following answer is incorrect and what the correct answer should be? Write an equation in slope-intercept form whit the given information.
Goes through the points (1, -2) and (3, 6)

The equation in slope-intercept form is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

Finding the slope

m = (6-(-2)/(3-1) = 8/2 = 4

Thus, the slope is m = 4

MISTAKE AND CORRECTION

NOTE: HERE THE PERSON MADE A MISTAKE.

The correct slope = m = 4

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b

Plug in (3, 6) and m=4 to find b

6 = 4·3 + b

6 = 12+b

6-12 = b

-6 = b

Plug in m=4 and b=-6 in the slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

y=4x+(-6)

y=4x-6

Thus, the equation in slope-intercept form is:

x = 12

y = 1

for the points!
