Question

Write a linear equation in slope intercept form that passes through the points (-11,-5) and (1,-2)

Answer 1

y=4x+9

Explanation:

from -11 to 1 is 12 units and from -5 to -2 is 3

slope 12/3 can be simplified to 4/1 or 4

now we have y=mx y=4x now we need b

to get to the y intercept i looked at 1,-2 and used the slope 2 times making the int. 9
