Question

How do I write this in slope intercept form: (-3,-4) and (4,-3)

Answer 1

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Pick one of the coordinates, I’ll use (-3,-4) as the example.

Coordinates are just numbers plugged in for (x,y).

This means -3 would be your x and -4 would be your y.

So plug these numbers into the equation and you get -4 = m(-3) + b.

M is slope and to find slope, you need to do (y2-y1) / (x2-x1).

In other words, it would be (-3 - -4) / (4 - -3) = 1/7 which is your slope (m).

Now plug that in for m to get the b variable.

-4 = 1/7(-3) + b.

B = -3.57

Your answer is y = 1/7x -3.57
