Answer 1

Answer:

y=-3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using $m=\frac{y_{2} -y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , plug in the two ordered pairs or points.

$m=\frac{-4-26}{6-(-4)} \\=\frac{-30}{10}\\ =-3\\m = -3$

Once you find the slope, you want to find the y-intercept. To find it you will need to use y=mx+b.

$y=mx+ b$

Plug in either (-4, 26) or (6, -4) and the slope m = -3 into the equation.

$-4=-3(6)+b$

Solve.

$-4=-3(6)+b\\-4=-18+b\\-4+18=b\\14=b$

Plug the slope and the y-intercept you found into y=mx+b.

$Answer: y=-3x+14$
