Answer:

m = 1/2

b = -7

Explanation:

The formulas for these can be used.

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . . . . formula for slope given 2 points

m = (-9 -(-11))/(-4-(-8)) = 2/4

m = 1/2

__

b = y1 -m·x1 . . . . . . . . . . . . formula for y-intercept given slope and point

b = -11 -(1/2)(-8) = -11 +4

b = -7
