Question

Passes through (-4,-5) Slope = -314
Please Helppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

The line slants upward, so the slope is positive.

Answer 2

`y=-314x-1261`

Explanation:

When we are writing an equation we have to put it in slope-intercept-form
`y=mx+b`. We already know the slope it's -314, we replace m with the slope. Now we have to find b which is the y-intercept. So what we have to do is plug in the ordered pair into the equation. -4 for x and -5 for y.

`y=mx+b\\-5=-314(-4)+b`

Now we solve

`-5=-314(-4)+b\\-5= 1256+b\\b=-1261`

So now that we know everything we need we plug in and....

`y=mx+b\\y=-314x-1261`

we've got our equation!
