Question

How do you find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the points (-4,2) and (0,-5).

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{7}{4} x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the points (-4,2) and (0,-5).

Slope (m) = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-5-2}{0-(-4)} =\frac{-5-2}{0+4}=\frac{-7}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}$

$y = mx + b$

$y=-\frac{7}{4} x-5$
