Question

How do you find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the points (-4,2) and (0,-5).

Answer 1

`y=-(7)/(4) x-5`

Explanation:

How do you find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the points (-4,2) and (0,-5).

Slope (m) =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(-5-2)/(0-(-4)) =(-5-2)/(0+4)=(-7)/(4)=-(7)/(4)`

`y = mx + b`

`y=-(7)/(4) x-5`
