Question

What is the slope - intercept form of the equation if the line through the points (3,-1) and (-1,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope - intercept form:

B) y= x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,-1) and (-1,-5)

Slope = (-5 + 1)/(-1 - 3)

Slope = -4 / -4

Slope = 1

Point slope form:

y + 1 = 1 (x - 3)

y +1 = x - 3

y = x - 4   <------------------slope - intercept form

Answer 2

1 = -3(-2) + b

1 = 6 + b

-5 = b
