Rx + h = sx - k Take all with x to the LHS
Rx - sx = -k - h
x(R - s) = - k -h
x = (-k - h) / (R - s). Multiply top and bottom by -1.
x = (k + h) / (s - R)
Find the slope first using m=y2-y1/x2-x1
-4-4/0-4 =2
The y intercept is when x=0.
One of the given points is (0,-4)
The y intercept is y=-4
you just have to move the decimal point 9 places to the right thats an easy trick to remember 1849900000
You subtract 3 miles from the 5.5 miles which gives you 2.5
