Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  m = 1/2

  b = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for these can be used.

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . . . . formula for slope given 2 points

  m = (-9 -(-11))/(-4-(-8)) = 2/4

  m = 1/2

__

  b = y1 -m·x1 . . . . . . . . . . . . formula for y-intercept given slope and point

  b = -11 -(1/2)(-8) = -11 +4

  b = -7
