Question

Write the slope intercept form of the equation for a line passing through (-3,-1) and
(0,4)

Answer 1

y = 5/3x + 4

Explanation:

First, you need to find the slope. Use the slope formula of (y^2-y^1) / (x^2 - x^1).

Plug the numbers in.

(4 - (-1)) / (0 - (-3))

5 / 3

Slope is 5/3

Now, you have an equation of y = 5/3x + b.

Since one of the points shows you what y equals when x=0, that is your y intercept.
