Question

A line passes through the points (-4,1) and (-3,3). This line can be modeled by the equation y = mx + b.

Answer 1

Answer:

m= 2

b=9

Step-by-step explanation:

-4, 1 -3,3

put it into y2-x2 divided by y1-x1

y2= 3

x2= 1

y1= -3

x1=-4

3-1 divided by -4--3= 2/1    =2x

get one of the points either -4,1 or -3,3

If you use -4,1    -4=x 1=y

put it into y=mx+b and you get 1= -4(2)+b    simplify

1=-8+b add 8 to other side b=9
