Question

HELP!!!!!!

Write an equation that represents the line.

Answer 1

probably y = -x + 1

Answer 2

y = -4/3x - 1

Explanation:

First find the slope, m, using the 2 given points (0, -1) and (3, -5):

m = Δy/Δx = (-5 - -1) / (3 - 0) = -4/3

y intercept, b, is at the point (0 -1)

b = -1

Therefore, the equation of the line in y = mx + b form is:

y = -4/3x - 1
