Answer:

Slope: 7/5 , Y-int: 1/5

Explanation:

To find the slope, lets use the points (-3,-4) and (2,3)

The slope formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) so we will plug in the numbers.

(3-(-4))/(2-(-3))=7/5. 7/5 is the slope (you can also do rise over run)

We find the y-int in many ways but i will show two.

We can make an equation in point-slope form. The formula is: y-y1=m(x-x1) and we use the point (-3,-4).

y-(-4)=7/5(x-(-3))

y+4=7/5x+21/5 (then move the 4 to the other side)

y=7/5x+1/5

The 1/5 is our y-int since we now have it in slope intercept form!

The other method we can use is putting it into slope intercept form first and using (-3,-4) to find the missing variable.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, let m be slope, b is y int, and (x,y) is our point

-4=(7/5)(-3)+b

-4=-21/5+b (move -15/7 to other side)

1/5=b !

we get the same answer I hope this helps sorry its long
