General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Slope Formula:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Point (-4, -2)
Point (3, -4)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute:
- Add:
<u>Step 3: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Define: y = -2/7x + b
- Substitute: -4 = -2/7(3) + b
- Multiply: -4 = -6/7 + b
- Isolate <em>b</em>: -22/7 = b
- Rewrite: b = -22/7
<u>Step 4: Write linear equation</u>
y = -2/7x - 22/7
