Answer:
b = - 21
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate m using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 3)
m = =
= - 4
y = - 4x + b ← is the partial equation
to find b substitute either of the 2 given points into the partial equation
using (- 4, - 5 ), then
- 5 = 16 + b ⇒ b = - 5 - 16 = - 21
