The value of "b" is the y-intercept.
In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4
2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)
3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.
Y = -8
I think.. hope this helps!
Answer:
x = -45
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply 5 to both sides:
(x/5) * 5 = (-9) * 5
x = -9 * 5
x = -45
x = -45 is your answer.
