Question

write the equation in slope-intercept form with y intercept of −3 and an x intercept of −4.5. I REALLY NEED HELP PLZ. PLZ

Answer 1

Hey there!!

In the given question, we can find two co-ordinates :

Y - intercept = ( 0 , - 3 )

X - intercept = ( -4.5 , 0 )

Hence, two co-ordinates are ( 0 , -3 ) and ( -4.5 , 0 )

How do we find slope?

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Now, plug in the values...

`(0 - (-3))/(-4.5 - 0 )`

`(3)/(-4.5)`

`(3)/((45)/(10) )`

`3 * (10)/(45)`

`(10)/(15)` =
`(2)/(3)`

Now, we found out the slope, which is
`(2)/(3)`

What is slope-intercept form ?

Form :- y = mx + b

Where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope..

Plug in the values we have found out :

`y = (2x)/(3) - 3` is the final equation...

Hope my answer helps!!

Answer 2

y=-3/4.5-3. You can get this by plotting the points on a graph and using the rise(how far up it goes) over run(how far right) to find the Slope, then plugging in the Y-intercept.
