Question

Write your equation in slope intercept form. Type your equation with no spaces and your slope should be written as a fraction and it’s a simplified form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written out as y=mx+b with "b" being the y-intercept of a line or curve on a graph.

One of the ordered pairs (0, -9) has the value of coordinate Y when X is equal to zero. This in fact, is your y-intercept: -9.

To figure out the slope of two points on a graph we first need to take the coordinate values and separate them into two categories (X and Y)

X1 = -3

X2 = 0

Y1 = -14

Y2 = -9

To calculate the slope, use the formula: (Y2-Y1/X2-X1) where / denotes the division between the two axis. This is the change in Y over the change in X.

After we plug in the values, we get -9 - (-14) / 0 - (-3) = 5/3

Remember that subtracting a negative number makes the sum positive.

Slope: 5/3

Y-Intercept: -9

Equation: (5/3)x-9
