Since the graph is a straight line, we know that this equation follows some sort of y = mx + b format.
Let's take the points that are on the axes (-4,0) and (0,-3)
use them to find the slope = (0 - (-3))/(-4 - 0) = 3/(-4) = -3/4
this is our m in the general equations above
we now have y = (-3/4)x + b
b is the y-intercept which is where x = 0 we already have that point in (0,-3)
plug the -3 in for b to give as a final answer:
y = (-3/4)x - 3
A + b phrase describe the variable expression y + 8
Answer: The distance between the two points is 13.
Answer:
option (D) is the right answer
The answer is no solution, if my math is correct.
