Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, -7)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line in slope intercept form, we must have the slope and the y intercept. Finding the slope is easy:

So now we want the y intercept. We can use either points to do this, so for simplicity let's use the second one since the numbers are smaller. First of all, we have:

y=-3x+b. Plugging in 6 for x and 2 for y we have, 2=-18+b which means b=20. Checking our answer we have:

y=-3x+20 which means 8=-3*4+20, which is true. So our equation is indeed y=-3x+20
