We are going to use the equation<em><u> y = mx + b </u></em>
<em>m</em> is the <em>slope </em>
and <em>b</em> is the<em> y intercept </em>
Let's do b first because it is the easiest.
Y intercept is where ever the line touches the y axis
If you look at the graph, you can see easily that the y intercept is<em> -4</em>
Let's find the slope now
We are going to use points we can clearly see on the graph
In this case we are going to use <u>(-4,-1) and (0, -4) </u>
To find slope we do
Lets plug it in. { -4 - -1 } = -3
and for x2 - x1, it would be 0 - -4 = 4
so your slope is
Let's put everything all <em>together</em>.
The final equation is
