Question

Find the equation of the line by using y=mx+b

I tried to put the answer but it keeps asking for more

Answer 1

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), we have points (-3,6) and (9,-5)

m=(-5-6)/(9-(-3))

m=-11/12 so now we have

y=-11x/12+b, using point (9,-5) we can solve for b

-5=-11(9)/12+b

-5=-99/12+b

b=39/12

y=(-11x+39)/12

That is the line, m=-11/12 and b=39/12 or as a decimal b=3.25. You had b so not sure what the problem is. Though the question in the picture asks what the line is. The line is

y=-11x/12+13/4 so maybe they want the entire function instead of entering what b is.
