Question

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of the line that passes through points (-7, 8) and (2, -2).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -1x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I plotted the points (-7, 8) and (2, -2). Then, I drew a line connecting the two points. At the point (-7, 8), I went down 2 squares and to the right 2. This would give me a slope of -1. Since the line touches the y-axis at 0.5, this is the y-intercept.

I am not sure about the y-intercept of this equation. If I got this wrong, I am sorry and please let me know. Thank you!
