Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
for the first point (0, -5) let’s say 0 = X1 and -5 = Y1
for the second point (-3, 4) let’s say -3 = X2 and 4 = Y2
to find m (the slope) we set this up:
(4-(-5))/(-3-0)
9/-3
slope is -3
what we have for the equation so far is
y = -3x + b
we have two points that the line has to go thru and to find b we’ll plug in one of those points into the equation
let’s use (0, -5)
-5 = -3(0) + b
-5 = 0 + b
b = -5
**if you used the other point b will still be -5
when we plug b back into the equation we get
y = -3x -5
hope this helps
