You need to use the y = mx + b formula which will get you to the answer
y = -x -2
galben [10]3 years ago

Answer:

y = - x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 1)

m = \frac{-1+4}{-1-2} = \frac{3}{-3} = - 1 , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 1, - 1 ), then

- 1 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 1 = - 2

y = - x - 2 ← equation of line

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

there is a 23% decrease in the price of the house

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage decrease of the price of the house = (price decrease of the house / initial price of the house) x 100

price decrease of the house =new price - initial price

$115,500 -  $150,000 = $-34,500

( $-34,500 / $150,000) x 100 = -23%
