***NOTE: Please check that you wrote the numbers in the question/answer choices correctly. The answer to this problem doesn't match the answer choice. Thank you!

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

First let's find the slope (m)

The formula to find slope using two points is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-2\\y_{1} =4\\x_{2} =3\\x_{1} =0

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-2-4}{3 - (0)}

\frac{-6}{3}

-2

^^^This is your slope

Here is what we have so far for the slope intercept formula:

y = -2x + b

Now we must find b

To do that you must plug in a point the line goes through in the x and y of the equation, then solve for b

For this explanation we will use the point (0,4) although you could also do it with point (3, -2) and you should get the same answer  

4 = -2(0) + b

4 = 0 + b

4 = b

NOTE: For this particular problem you wouldn't technically need to go through the steps above to find b. In this case one of the points given, (0, 4) is already the y-intercept of the line (b)

y = -2x + 4

Hope this helped!

Help please guys thankyouu

You have the right idea so far, but you forgot to finish it up.

Point slope form is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is the point the line goes through. As you can see, we have infinitely many choices for (x1,y1). If you use the y intercept point (0,5), then

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1(x - 0) ..... this is one of infinitely many possible answers

OR

If you use the point (2,3), then we'd say

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -1(x - 2) ..... which is another possible answer

There are infinitely many other choices, but I'm only picking the points in which your teacher has shown as big dots.

By the way, nice work on getting the correct answer for the slope-intercept form.

Firdavs [7]
To solve this question, I first converted one hour into minutes. (60 minutes)

Then I divided 4 1/2 into 60. As a decimal, the answer if 0.075. If you convert that into a lowest terms fraction, you get 3/40.
