Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-6,-3) and (2,-1)

Answer:
y = 1/4x - 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
(-6, -3) (2,-1)
y = -3 - (-1) = -2 = 1
x = -6 - 2 = -8 = 4
y = mx + b
-1 = 1/4(2) + b
-1 = 1/2 + b
-1/2 -1/2
-1 1/2 = b
y = 1/4x - 1 1/2
The final equation is y equals one fourth x minus one and one half.
