Answer:
y=-1/4x-5 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula y-y1=m(x-x1), plug in the slope and the numbers and you'll get y=-1/4x-5 1/2.
"Classify the polynomial by the number of terms" means a term contains both the variables and its coefficient. For example a "monomial" has one term like
.
A binomial has 2 terms like 
A trinomial has 3 terms like 
And a polynomial has 4 or more terms.
So basically one can classify the type of polynomial by counting the number of terms in a given equation.
