Question

How do you write the equation in slope intercept form given (4,1) and (5,0)?

Answer 1

y=-1x+5

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{0-1}{5-4}\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-1=-1(x-4) \\\\\\ y-1=-x+4\implies y=-x+5`
