Answer:
y = -2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The line crosses the y-axis at -3, so that is the y-intercept.
It has a "rise" of -2 units for each "run" of 1 unit, so the slope is -2. (For example, from point (-1, -1) to point (0, -3).)
The slope m and y-intercept b are used in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:
y = mx + b
For the values this line has, the equation is ...
y = -2x -3
Answer:
y = -5/4x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a y-intercept of -8
There is a slope of -5/4
Divide both sides of the equation by - 3
-8x+9y= - 14
-9y+8x=14
simplify the expression
-8x+9y=-14
8x-9y=14
then solve the equation for y
y=-14/9+8/9x
substitute the given value in the ordered pair (x, y)
