Answer:
Slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
(x₁ , y₁) = (-9 , -4) & (x₂ ,y₂) = (-3, -6)
Slope = 
![= \frac{-6-[-4]}{-3-[-9]}\\\\= \frac{-6+4}{-3+9}\\\\= \frac{-2}{6}\\\\= \frac{-1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-6-%5B-4%5D%7D%7B-3-%5B-9%5D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-6%2B4%7D%7B-3%2B9%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-2%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-1%7D%7B3%7D)
Answer:
y= -1/4x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
first you need to find the slope.
to do this you can use the equation: change in y/change in x which is also y2 - y1/x2-x1
-8 - (-6)/12-4
-2/8
-1/4 = slope
since the line's equation is y = mx + b, we still need to find the y-intercept. we can do this by just plugging in one of the points
-6 = -1/4(4) + b
-6 = -1 + b
-5 = b
so the final equation is y= -1/4x - 5
The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.
Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function

for x = - 1 and x 2.
The solution is:
1) For x = - 1

2) For x = 2
