Write the slope-intercept form of a line with the following coordinates

(3, 6), (65 , 4)
First you find the slope by finding the change in Y over change in is Y2-Y1/X2-X1
4-6/65-3
-2/62
The slope is -1/31
Next the slope is plugged in for m, and a set of coordinates for x, and y
y = mx+b
6 = -1/31*3 + b
6 = -3/31 + b
6 + 3/31 = -3/31 + 3/31 +b
6 3/31 = b
The equation looks like y = 1/31*x+6 3/31
