Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through: (4,-1) and (-2,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find slope... (y2-y1)/x2-x1–> (-4-(-1))/-2-4=-3/-6=1/2

2) Pick a coordinate and plug into equation y-y1=m(x-x1)—> y-(-1)=1/2(x-4)

3) Simplify to make y alone —> y=1/2x-3
