First find the slope.
m = (10 - 13)/(8 - 14) = -3/-6 = 1/2
Now use y = mx + b, m= 1/2, (8, 10) = (x, y)
10 = (1/2)(8) + b
10 = 4 + b
6 = b
y = (x/2) + 6
m = (10 - 13)/(8 - 14) = -3/-6 = 1/2
Now use y = mx + b, m= 1/2, (8, 10) = (x, y)
10 = (1/2)(8) + b
10 = 4 + b
6 = b
y = (x/2) + 6

slope-intercept form equation
y = mx + b
first, find the slope, m
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (13 - 10) / (14 - 8) = 3/6 = 1/2
y = (1/2)x + b
next, find the y-intercept. just substitute one of the points into the equation
y = (1/2)x + b
10 = (1/2)(8) + b
10 = 4 + b
b = 6
y = (1/2)x + 6
y = mx + b
first, find the slope, m
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (13 - 10) / (14 - 8) = 3/6 = 1/2
y = (1/2)x + b
next, find the y-intercept. just substitute one of the points into the equation
y = (1/2)x + b
10 = (1/2)(8) + b
10 = 4 + b
b = 6
y = (1/2)x + 6
