Question

I how do I do this ?!??

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$m=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

$b=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is given by

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

using the coordinates of the given points

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,4)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(2,1)$

we get

$m=\dfrac{1-4}{2-0}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

and $b$ is the intersection with the y-axis, so $b=4$
