Y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
Since you are not given the y-intercept, you have to solve for it through the equation, y = -3x (which is the slope you are given) + b, and replace x and y with values given, which are (1,4)
y = -3x + b
4 = -3(1) + b
4 = -3 + b
7 = b
Then replace b in the first equation to get the answer
y = -3x + 7
You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes. So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line: if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then
y-b=m(x-a). You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.
On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster: y=mx+b.
Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5). Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).
Then write the finished equation: y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.

Answer:
it's B
Step-by-step explanation:
2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
1/2=0.5
0.5>0.25
so (1/2)>(1/4)
