Line equation in slope and y-intercept form:
y = mx + b
To calculate the slope, we use the first two points: (24,-15) and (28, -17)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-17 - (-15))/(28 - 24)
m = (-17 + 15)/(4
m = -2/4 = -1/2
To find b we use the first point: (24, -15)
y = mx + b
b = y - mx = -15 - (-1/2)(24) = -15 + 12 = -3
b = -3
Answer:
y = (-1/2) x - 3
