Answer:
Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the slope, we pick any two points and apply the slope formula
The slope formula is;
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
To get the slope, we select any two points
That will be;
(-3/4, -1/30) and (1/4,-13/30)
Substituting these in the slope formula, we have:
m = (-13/30 + 1/30)/(1/4 + 3/4)
m = 12/30 = -2/5
Generally, the equation of a straight line is;
y = mx + b
m is slope and b is the y-intercept
We already have the slope, to get the y-intercept, we select any of the points
-3/5 = -2/5(2/3) + b
= -3/5 + 4/15 = b
b = (-9 + 4)/15 = -5/15 = -1/3
Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is -1/3
