Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3/4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Define

(0, -2) y-intercept

(4, 1) random point

Step 2: Find slope m

$m=\frac{1-(-2)}{4-0}$

$m=\frac{1+2}{4}$

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

y = 3/4x + b

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 3/4x - 2
