Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line through the given points, writing the answer in the equation box

below.
PO.-4). Q15, 1)

Answer 1

y = x-4

Explanation:

The standard form is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

we have the two points as (0,-4) and (5,1)

so we find the slope using the slope formula;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1 + 4)/(5-0) = 5/5 = 1

The y-intercept value is the value of y when x = 0

We already have a point (0,-4) and the equation would be:

y = 1(x) + (-4)

y = x-4
