Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given lines (0,-2) and (4,1)

Answer 1

y = 3/4x - 2

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Step 1: Define

(0, -2) y-intercept

(4, 1) random point

Step 2: Find slope m

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

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

`m=(3)/(4)`

y = 3/4x + b

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 3/4x - 2
