Answer: the equation is y = - 3x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
c represents the y intercept
m represents the slope of the straight line.
The slope of the given line is - 3 and it contains the point (4, 2)
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 3, x = 4 and
y = 2 into y = mx + c. It becomes
2 = - 3 × 4 + c
2 = - 12 + c
c = 12 + 2
c = 14
The equation becomes
y = - 3x + 14
Answer:
1. You first have to find the slope
2. Next, you have to find the y-intercept
3. Finally, you have to put it in y = mx + b form.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of 2 points is;
The y-intercept is;
y = mx + b
m is always the slope
b is always the starting point or y-intercept
