Y=-1/4x+8
First find the slope
Slope= y-y1/x-x1
So (6-7)/(8-4) = -1/4
Now take that slope and use one of the points and plug them into the point slope formula to solve for your y intercept.
Point slope formula: y=mx+b
So 7=-1/4(4)+b OR 6=-1/4(8)+b
Either way you’ll get b=8!
Put em together and you get: y=-1/4x+8
Ps you can double check your answer by plugging in one or both of the points into your equation to see if it works :)
Im doin the same stuff and can’t figure it out
There are three steps:
<span>Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.
Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)
Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).</span>
The answer is 2 and negative 9
