Question

Write the Linear Model using Slope Intercept form y = mx + b 4. (-4, 6), (-6, 8)

Answer 1

1) Let's write a Linear model, i.e. a linear function that describes the behavior of the line that intercepts those points (-4, 6), (-6, 8)​

2) So let's start by finding the slope

So the slope is m=-1

3) Now let's find the linear coefficient (b), by picking one of those points and plugging into the linear formula:

6=-1(-4)+b

6=4+b Flipping it

b=6-4

b=2

4) So the linear model, is y=-1/5x +2
