Question

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers

y= ( )x + ( ) ​

Answer 1

y = 3/4x - 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Alg

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope

• b - y-intercept

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define points

Find some points from the graph.

y-intercept (0, -2)

Point (-4, -5)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(-5+2)/(-4-0)`
2. Add/Subtract:
   `m=(-3)/(-4)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(3)/(4)`

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 3/4x - 2
