y = 1.4x - 4.8
the equation of a line in ' slope - intercept form ' is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
the partial equation is y = 1.4x + c
to find c, substitute (2, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = 2.8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 2.8 = - 4.8
y = 1.4x - 4.8 is the equation in slope- intercept form
