Question

Please find the slope and the equation.and step by step explanation PLEASE.​

Answer 1

Answers:

• slope = 1
• equation is y = x-4

============================================

Explanation:

Two points on this diagonal line are (0,-4) and (1,-3)

Let's apply the slope formula to get the following

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-3-(-4))/(1-0)

m = (-3+4)/(1-0)

m = 1/1

m = 1

The slope is 1. We can think of it as 1/1 to indicate "go up 1, and over to the right 1". In other words, slope = rise/run = 1/1.

----------

Note how the graph crosses the y axis at -4, so this is the y intercept.

Since the y intercept is -4, this means b = -4

So with m = 1 and b = -4, we go from y = mx+b to y = 1x+(-4) which simplifies to y = x-4
