Question

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form that passes through the given slopes (1,3) and (-3,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard expression of equation of a  line in slope-intercept form is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Given

slope m = -3

Point (x, y) = (-1, 3)

x = -1 and y = 3

Get the intercept

To get the intercept c, we will substitute the given values into the equation above to have;

y = mx+c

3 = -3(-1)+c

3 = 3 + c

c = 3-3

c = 0

Substitute m = -3 and c = 0 into the equation above;

y = mx+c

y = -3x+0

y = -3x

Hence the required linear equation is y = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,3) and (-3,-5)

3 - -5/  1 - -3 = 8/4  =2

y = 2x
