Question

Write the equations of the fully simplified slop-intercept form.​

Answer 1

y = -6x - 4

Explanation:

Using two points on the line, (0, -4) and (-1, 2),

`Slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (2 - (-4))/(-1 - 0) = (6)/(-1) = -6`

m = -6

y-intercept (b) = -4 (the value of y when x = 0)

To write the equation, substitute m = -6, and b = -4 into y = mx + b

y = -6x - 4
