Answer:

1) y = -2x - 1

2) y = -3/4 + 3

3) y = 4x + 9

4) y = - 5/3x - 2

Explanation:

b = y - m*x

1) (-7,13) and slope: -2

b = 13 - (-2)*(-7)

b = 13 - 14

b = -1

2) (4,6) lope = -3/4

b = 6 - (-3/4)*(-4)

b = 6 - 3

b = 3

y = -3/4x + 3

3) (-5,-11) and (3,-7)

Slope: (1 - - 11)/(-2 - - 5) = 12/3

= 4

b = -11 - (4) (-5) = 9

b = 9

4) slope = (-7 - 8)/(3- - 6)

= -15/9 = - 5/3

b = 8 - (-5/3)*(-6)

b = 8 - 10

b = -2
