Question

Write the slope intercept form of the question of the line through the given points. (0,-2) and (-4,1). Make sure your answer is in y=Mx+b form

Answer 1

Hi,

if the line goes by (0; -2) then "b" = -2

Now we have the following equation : m( -4) + (-2) = 1

-4m -2 = 1

-4m = 3

m = 3/ -4

m = - 3/4

so Y = -3/4 X - 2

Answer 2

y= - 3/4x - 2

Explanation:

m= y-y/x-x

m= -2-1/0+4

m= -3/4 (slope)

y=mx+b

-2= -3/4(0) + b

-2= b

y= -3/4x-2
