Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the points with the given coordinates. Make sure your final answer

is in slope-intercept form.
(0,-4), (2,3)

Answer 1

Answer: y = 7/2 x - 4 (not 7/3)

Reason:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) or (3 - (-4)) / (2-0) = 7/2

b = -4, since you have (0,-4) as the x-intercept.

Answer 2

y = 7/2x - 4

Explanation:

7/2 is the slope and -4 is the y intercept
