Answer:
y = (- 7/8)*x - 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
One point is (-4,2) and the other one is (4,-5)
The first step is to find the slope.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
- y2 = 2
- y1 = -5
- x2 = -4
- x1 = 4
Solution
Find the slope
m = (2 - - 5) / (-4 - 4)
m = (2 + 5) / (- 8)
m = 7 / - 8
So far what you have is y = (-7/8)x + b
Find the y intercept.
Use (4,-5)
y = (-7/8)x + b
x = 4
y = - 5
-5 = (-7/8) * 4 + b
-5 = -7/2 + b
-5 = - 3.5 + b Add 3.5 to both sides.
-5 + 3.5= - 3.5+ 3.5 + b
- 1.5 = b
