Question

What is the equation in slope-intercept from of the line that passes through the points (-4,47) and (2,-16

Answer 1

Y=-21/2x+5

Explanation:

SLOPE FORMULA:

y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁=rise/run

SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM:

y=mx+b

m represents the slope.

b represents the y-intercept.

y₂=(-16)

y₁=47

x₂=2

y₁=(-4)

Solve.

`\displaystyle \mathsf{((-16)-47)/(2-(-4))=(21)/(6)=(21)/(2)=-(21)/(2)   }}`

Furthermore, the y-intercept is 5.

y=-21/2x+5

The correct answer is y=-21/2x+5.
