Question

Can you help me with this

Answer 1

y = 3/2x - 3

Explanation:

first find slope (m):

m = (-3/2 -(-15/2)) / (1 - (-3)) = (12/2) / 4 = 6/4 = 3/2

plug the point (1, -3/2) into the point-slope form (y-y1) = m(x-x1):

y - (-3/2) = 3/2(x-1)

y + 3/2 = 3/2x -3/2

now put it in slope-intercept form y = mx + b:

y = 3/2x -6/2

y = 3/2x - 3
