Question

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points. (-16,8), (-4,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-1/4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

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

m=(5-8)/(-4-(-16))

m=-3/(-4+16)

m=-3/12

m=-1/4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8=-1/4(x-(-16))

y-8=-1/4(x+16)

y-8=-1/4x-16/4

y-8=-1/4x-4

y=-1/4x-4+8

y=-1/4x+4
