Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points

Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

To find the slope(m), use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}    And plug in the two points on the line

(-4, -4) = (x₁, y₁)

(4, -2) = (x₂, y₂)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-2-(-4)}{4-(-4)} (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

m=\frac{-2+4}{4+4}

m=\frac{2}{8}     Simplify the fraction

m=\frac{1}{4}      Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation

y = mx + b

y=\frac{1}{4} x+b  To find b, plug in either of the points into the equation, it doesn't matter which, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself. I will use (4, -2)

-2=\frac{1}{4}(4)+b

-2 = 1 + b    Subtract 1 on both sides to get "b" by itself

-3 = b

y=\frac{1}{4} x-3  Your answer is A

How 2 find intercept
Zarrin [17]
You can look at the graph and see where the point crosses the y - axis for the y-int and for the x-int you look to see where the point crosses the x-axis. The coordinate with always have a coordinate of zero.

What is the least common denominator of 1/9 and 2/3
Kipish [7]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

All u have to do is think only about two denominators, 9 and 3

And then memorize the multiplication of any number out of these two, until u get a number which is divisible by the other number. Its like,

9×1= 9

i

is it divisible by 3?

9/3= 3

Oh yes, it is divisible by 3 with no remainings. So that is the least common denominator
