Here’s the answer. See pictures.
Answer:
y = -(5/2)x -2
Explanation:
The general formula for a straight line is y – mx + b.
The image below shows the graph of the line.
Step 1. <em>Calculate the slope</em>.
Slope = m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
x₁ = 0; y₁ = -2
x₂ = -2; y₂ = 3 Calculate m
m = [3-(-2)]/(-2-0)
m = (3+2)/(-2)
m = 5/(-2)
m = -5/2
Step 2. <em>Calculate the y-intercept
</em>
When x = 0, y = 2.
The y-intercept (b) is at y = -2
Step 3. <em>Write the equation </em>for the graph
y = mx + b
y = -(5/2)x - 2
Find slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(4-5)/(3-0) = -1/3
Y = -1/3x + b
5 = -1/3(0) + b, b = 5
Equation: y = -1/3x + 5
Its line 1
if we expand the second and third expressions they come back to the first.
The last one is called the vertex form of a parabola
