Question

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
Please explain.

Answer 1

y =
`-(1)/(4)`x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given as:

y = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the y -intercept

The y-intercept = 3;

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

x₁ = 0

x₂ = 4

y₁ = 3

y₂ = 2

Slope =
`(2-3)/(4 -0 )` =
`-(1)/(4)`

y = mx + c

y =
`-(1)/(4)`x + 3
