Answer:

a) -2

b) (0,5)

c)y= -2x-5

4a) 8

b) 3 or -3

Explanation:

a)the slope of the line is calculated by the equation: y₂-y₁ ÷ x₂-x₁

the y and x are the x and y coordinates

in this question, (-2, -1) and (-4, 3) are the coordinates that can be obtained

hence replace the numbers in the equation

y₂-y₁ ÷ x₂-x₁

3-(-1) ÷ (-4)- (-2)= 4 ÷ -2

= -2 ←

b) y- intercept refers to the point which crosses the y-axis

here it is the coordinates (0, 5) ←

c) the equation of a line is in the form y= mx+ c

where y is the y coordinate, m is the slope, x is the x coordinate and c is to be calculated using subject of formula

let's take coordinate (-4, 3) and replace it in the equation

y= mx+ c

3= (-2)(-4) + c

3=8 + c

c= 3-8= -5

equation: y= -2x -5←

4a) replace -3 in x

-2(-3) + 2= 8←

b)replace 3 in x

f(3)= -3(3) + 12=3 ←

or

f(3) -3(-3) -12= -3 ←
