Question

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through (0,4) and (2,3)

Answer 1

y = -1/2x + 4

Explanation:

the slope of the line from (0, 4) to (2, 3) is -1/2. Now we just need to find the y intercept, but the problem actually gives it to us. The point (0, 4) is at x = 0, so we know the y intercept is 4. This means that the equation will be y = -1/2x + 4 because m is slope and b is y intercept.
