(14,-2)

Help please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 please put me the brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1. Slope
Slope: (Yb - Ya) / Xb - X-a
= (-2 - (-6)) / (14 - (-2)
= (-2 + 6) / (14 + 2)
= 4/16
= 1/4

2. Y-intercept
Y = mx + b
-6 = (1/4)(-2) + b
-6 = -0.5 + b
-6 + 0.5 = -0.5 + 0.5 + b
-5.5 = b
B = -5.5

Equation:
Y = 1/4x + -5.5
Y = 1/4x - 5.5
