Answer 1

Answer:

m = 1/3

b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

How to calculate slide (m):

$\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = m$

x1 = 0

x2 = -12

y1 = -6

y2 = -10

If we put in the values:

$\frac{(-6) - (-10)}{0 - (-12)} = m$

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it:

$\frac{(-6) + 10 }{0 + 12} = m$

-6 + 10 = 4 and 0 + 12 = 12 so now we have this:

$\frac{4}{12} = m$

Lets simplify:

4 and 12 can both be divided by 3:

$\frac{1}{3} = m$

3 and 1 are prime numbers and cannot be simplified further.

Now we know that m=1/3

Since:

y = mx + b

y = -6

x = 0

m = 1/3

Then:

-6 = 1/3*0 + b

1/3*0 is 0, so we can just remove that part:

-6 = b

that means b is equal to -6
