Question

Find the equation of the line Use exact numbers Y=___x+___

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form

$y=mx+b$

y: range

m: slope

x: domain

b: y-intercept

We can see that the line intersects at $(0,-6)$, which is the y-intercept. We now have:

$y=mx-6$

To find the slope, we need to start at the y-intercept. We need to find another nice point we can use. There is a nice point at $(4,-7)$. Start at the y-intercept, go down one unit, and go right four units. By doing that, you just found your slope.

$y=-\frac{1}{4} x-6$

We know it is negative because as the x values become greater, the y values become less.

Answer 2

the equation for your answer is y=mx+b
