Question

What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4} x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope of the line using the two points (0,-1) and (4,-2)

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

since we already know that the y-intercept is -1 then you plug the numbers into the slope-intercept form y=mx+b and you get $y=-\frac{1}{4}x-1$
