Question

Need SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM ASAP

Answer 1

y = -
`(7)/(4)` x - 7

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 7)

m =
`(-7-0)/(0-(-4))` =
`(-7)/(0+4)` = -
`(7)/(4)`

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 7 ) ⇒ c = - 7

y = -
`(7)/(4)` x - 7 ← equation of line
