Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Points: (0,3) and (-4,-1)
Formula
x = 0 to find the y intercept
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution
y2 = 3
y1 = - 1
x2 = 0
x1 = - 4
m = (3 - -1)/(0 - - 4)
m = 4/4
m = 1
You have y = mx + b so m = 1
the general equation becomes y = x + b
Use point (0,-4)
y = x + b
- 4 = 0 + b
b = - 4
y = x - 4
