Negative because if you mark it on the graph they go in a downwards line which would be a negative slope on the graph :)
The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:
5+1
m = ---------- = -3/2
-1-3
We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:
-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.
The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.
Answer:
8<em>x</em> + 25

In the second photo.
Exact form 27/4
decimal form 6.75
mixed number form 6(3/4)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this problem we have


substitute and solve for b



The equation of the line is equal to
