PICTURE SHOWN
Write the equation of the given line in
slope- intercept form

Answer 1

y=2x+3

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = -3x - 1

Explanation:

Point Slope Form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Step 1: Find the slope using
`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

(x1, y1) = (-1, 2)

(x2, y2) = (1, -4)

m =
`(-4 - 2)/(1 -(-1))`

m =
`(-6)/(1+1)`

m =
`(-6)/(2)`

m = -3

Step 2: Plug into point slope form and solve for y

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - 2) = -3(x - (-1))

y - 2 = -3(x + 1)

y - 2 + 2 = -3x - 3 + 2

y = -3x - 1

Answer: y = -3x - 1
