Question

PLEASE SOMEONE!!HELP!! I need the answer right now

Answer 1

m = -1, b = 5.

Explanation:

We can find the slope, m, by plugging in our coordinates into the slope formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) =(2-7)/(3-(-2))=(-5)/(5)=-(5)/(5)=-(1)/(1)=-1`. That gives us the slope. Now we can fill that in the slope intercept formula:
`y=-1x+b`. We know one of the coordinates and the slope, which allows to find the y-intercept. We know that for every 1 unit down on the line, we move 1 unit right, and vice versa. Meaning we can just count down (or up in this case), so, (-2, 7), (-1, 6), (0, 5). Therefore, our y intercept is 5.
