Question

Write in slope intercept form: (-5,-11) and (-2,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the intercept is  m = y2 - y2 / x2 - x1

If we plus in the values the equation would be 1 + 11 / -2 - 5

Solve form there and you get:  m = 4

Therefore the answer is 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 4x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the line, which is the change in y/the change in x:

(-11-1)/(-5-(-2)) = -12/-3 = 4

That leaves you with the equation:

y = 4x

But notice, when x = -2 in the equation, y = -8, but we want it to be 1, so we add 9 to the end of the equation:

y = 4x + 9

I hope this helped.
