What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -2) and (-4, 4)?

Answer:

y=-3/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we must calculate the slope (m) using the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

here are the given points: (0,-2) and (-4,4)

we can label the points:

x1=0

y1=-2

x2=-4

y2=4

now substitute into the equation:

m=(4--2)/(-4-0)

m=(4+2)/-4

m=6/-4

m=3/-2

m=-3/2

the slope of the line is -3/2

now use the point-slope form, which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

substitute the given numbers into the equation

y--2=-3/2(x-0)

do distributive prop.

y+2=-3/2x

subtract 2 from both sides

y=-3/2x-2

King Henry the 8th had six wives,some of which had the same names.One more was named Catherine(although with different spellings
valentinak56 [21]
2 more were named Catherine because since he had 6 wives, 2 were named Anne with a different spelling and since Jane is only one wife that means 2 wives plus 1 wife equals 3 but then there was Catherine so 2 wives plus 2 wives equals 4 wives so you subtract 4 wives from 6 wives and you get 2 wives or 2 Catherines.

"A parabola is curved instead of linear, in your case it is probably just facing up or down so I won't get into square roots for now.So the quadratic equation that you probably have had to memorize (or will soon) is:
x=(-b[+or-]√(b²-4ac))/2a when you have an equation like ax²+bx+c=0Now where does the curve shape come from? You see that little pesky plus or minus in the equation? That's because there are always 2 values (inputs) that will generate the same output. Example:y=x²(2)²=4(-2)²=...4So if you were to follow this pattern, and plot the points on a graph, you would end up with a curve. You end up with a curve because the slope is constantly increasing. 
And this is actually where you start the study of Calculus(!), which is all about measuring slopes (And a bunch of other stuff, but this is the easiest part to explain). Actually, in this case of y=x², the slope at any given point (funnily enough) is equal to 2 times your x-value. 
The point is, your line is curved because unlike a linear equation, the slope is changing (at a constant rate)."
