$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ -4}} &,&{{ -1}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ 3}} &,&{{ -3}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{-3-(-1)}{3-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{-3+1}{3+4}\implies -\cfrac{2}{7}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-1)=-\cfrac{2}{7}[x-(-4)]
\\\\\\
y+1=-\cfrac{2}{7}(x+4)$

2y-4x=-12 what is the slope intercept

SpyIntel [72]

So you have yo turn it into the correct form first so you add 4x to both sides and come out with 2y=4x-12 them you divide each side by 2 because you have to have to by itself and you come out with y=2x-6 so the slope is 2x and the y intercept is -6
