Question

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers y= ( )x + ( ) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3/4x - 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Alg

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope

• b - y-intercept

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define points

Find some points from the graph.

y-intercept (0, -2)

Point (-4, -5)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{-5+2}{-4-0}$
2. Add/Subtract:               $m=\frac{-3}{-4}$
3. Simplify:                        $m=\frac{3}{4}$

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 3/4x - 2
