Answer:
[tex]y=2x+2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
we have
[tex]A(-4,-6)\ B(2,6)[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]m=\frac{6+6}{2+4}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{12}{6}=2[/tex]
step 2
we know that
The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
we have
[tex]m=2[/tex]
[tex]B(2,6)[/tex]
substitute and solve for b
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex] ------> [tex]6=(2*2)+b[/tex]
[tex]6=4+b[/tex]
[tex]b=2[/tex]
The equation of the line is equal to
[tex]y=2x+2[/tex]
