Question

Find the equation of the line
Use exact numbers
Y=___x+___

Answer 1

the equation for your answer is y=mx+b

Answer 2

`y=-(1)/(4) x-6`

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form

`y=mx+b`

y: range

m: slope

x: domain

b: y-intercept

We can see that the line intersects at
`(0,-6)`, which is the y-intercept. We now have:

`y=mx-6`

To find the slope, we need to start at the y-intercept. We need to find another nice point we can use. There is a nice point at
`(4,-7)`. Start at the y-intercept, go down one unit, and go right four units. By doing that, you just found your slope.

`y=-(1)/(4) x-6`

We know it is negative because as the x values become greater, the y values become less.
