Our goal is to fit the given information into the slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
We can place the slope in 'm.'
y= -7x+b
Then, input the values for the x and y.
2= -7(-5)+b
2=35+b
b=2-35
b= -33
'b' is the intercept, so now that we know that, we can plug in all the values and find our final equation.
y= -7x -33
It equals 1.7 because you're moving the decimal point by two places, when dividing by 100
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
Find slope:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
= (-5 - (-4)) / (0 - 4)
= -1 / -4
= 1/4
Find y intercept using anyone of the given points and slope from above:
y = mx + b
b = -5
Now use the above slope and y intercept to create equation of a line:
Equation: 10x + 5y = 4
5y = -10x + 4
Divide the equation by 5,
y = -2x + 4/5
Now Compare it with, y = mx + c
Here,m = -2
In short, Your Answer would be Option D
Hope this helps!
