Question

Given the two points write the equation for the line in slope intercept

form!
(-3,5) and (0,-4)

Answer 1

y = -3x - 4

Explanation:

Find the slope.

y2-y1/x2-x1

-9/3 = -3

-3 is the slope. You know the y-intercept is -4 since (0, -4) is a point. The y-intercept is the value of y where x = 0.

So if you know the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is -4, plug it into slope-intercept form.

y = mx+b

y = -3x - 4
