Answer:

y=-2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Determine the slope</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where the two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-2x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

y=-2x+b

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

y=-2x+2

I hope this helps!

HELP PLEASE!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Slope = 2 Y-Intercept = (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope : \frac{Rise}{Run}  which is \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} from two points: point1 (x1 , y1) and point2 (x2, y2).

For the purpose of getting the slope I will be using point (0, 3) as point 1

and point (-3, -3) as point 2.

If you plug in 0 as x1, 3 as y2, -3 for x2, and -3 for y2:

\frac{-3 - 3}{-3 - 0} = \frac{-6}{-3} = 2

Y-Intercept: The y intercept is the point where the line is touching the y axis. Which in this graph, there is only point (0,3).
