Put one dot on (0,-2) , (4,0), (-4,-4) connect the dots that is your graph line.
Slope is 1/2 and you is -4
For this case we have the following equation:

By completing squares we have:
Step 1:
Add
on both sides:

Step 2:
We rewrite the equation:

Step 3:
We solve the equation:

Solutions:

Answer:
the next line would be:

Answer:
612 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
LA is located at 330 feet ABOVE SEA LEVEL
Death Valley is located 282 feet BELOW SEA LEVEL
We let the sea level be at 0 (consider a number line).
So,
LA would be at +330 feet
and
Death Valley would be at -282 feet
The elevation change between the two would be the difference:
330 - (-282) = 330 + 282 = 612 feet
The difference in elevation = 612 feet
