Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-6.0) and (0, – 24).​

Answer 1

y = -4x - 24

Explanation:

y = mb + b, so look for then m = -4 so the equation is y = -4x - 24

slope = -24 - 0 / 0 + 6 so m = -4 and b = -24 since x = 0 at the y-intercept

Answer 2

y = -4x - 24

Explanation:

Firstly, figure out the slope. To do that, plug the coordinates in the formula.

y2 - y1 / x2 -x1

= -24 - 0 / 0 - (-6)

= -4

The slope is -4/1x.

To figure out the y-intercept, you need to plug one of the coordinates into

y = -4x + b

0 = -4(-6) + b

0 = 24 +b

-24 = b
