Please help me with this

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x-16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is a way of expressing a line in the format;

$y=mx+b$

Where (m) is the slope of the line, and (b) is the y-intercept. One can solve for (b) by substituting in a point on the line and using inverse operations to solve.

$y=mx+b\\\\m=-\frac{5}{2}\\\\y=-\frac{5}{2}x+b$

Substitute in point (-6, -1)

$-1=-\frac{5}{2}(-6)+b\\\\-1=15+b\\\\-15\\\\-16=b$

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x-16$
