Answer:

<h2>y = 3.5x - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<h3>y = mx + b</h3>

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have y-intercept b = -2. Substitute:

<h3>y = mx - 2</h3>

We have the point (4, 12) → x = 4, y = 12. Put them in the equation:

12 = 4m - 2         <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

14 = 4m       <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

14/4 = m → m = 3.5

Answer:

y = 3.5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the y-intercept of our equation is -2, so our current equation is: y = mx - 2. Now we have to find m, which is the slope. Now, we plug in the points into the equation y = mx - 2, and we get 12 = 4m - 2. Thus, m is 3.5. Our final equation is y = 3.5x - 2.

Basically you find the data points and fill in the values. For Point J it is (2,4). They want you to do this: (2-4,4-6)...it then becomes (-2,-2).
So 
J: (-2,-2)
K: (-1, -4)
I: (-2, -5)
Those are your new points. I hope this helps love! :)
