Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Answer 1

y = -(5/2)x - 1

Explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

The y intercept is shown to be (0,-1), so b = -1

The equation is now y = mx -1

slope= rise/run

The rise is (4-(-1))=5

The run is (-2-0)=-2

5/-2 is the slope (m)

The equation is y = -(5/2)x - 1

Answer 2

y = -5/2 x-1

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-1 -4)/(0--2)

= (-5)/+2

= -5/2

We know the y intercept is -1 since that is where it crosses the y axis

We will use the slope intercept form of the equation

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -5/2 x-1
