Question

Pls help!! What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -4x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

using any two points, in this case (0, 5) and (3, -7) you can find slope by using this formula: $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

plug in the x- and y- values of the two points above

$m=\frac{-7-5}{3-0}=\frac{-12}{3}=-4$

y = -4x + b

use any point of the line and plug it into the equation above

5 = -4(0) + b

5 = -4 + b

5 + 4 = -4 + b +4

9 = b

the equation in full is y = -4x +9
