Answer:
Slope Intercept form: y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
mx: the slope
b: y- intercept
To find the slope, use this formula:
y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
Add in the numbers
1 - (-5) / 0 - 2
-6/2 (or -3) = slope
Use point-slope form to find the Y- intercept
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - (-5) = -3 (x - 2)
y + 5 = -3x + 6
Subtract 5 from both sides
y = -3x + 1 ← Slope intercept form
Graph the y- intercept at 1, and go down 3 and to the right 1. Your two coordinates will be (0 , 1) and (1, -2) .
