Slope denoted as m can be calculated from 2 diff. points using the formula:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = 1 - 12 / 25 - 0 = -11 / 25
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Using a point,
12 = -11/25(0) + b
12 = b
y-intercept is 12.
To summarize, slope is -11/25, negative because decreasing trend and y-intercept is 12.
Answer:
The distance is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest distance from the point (4,2) to the line y=-2, in this case, would be a straight line perpendicular to y=-2.
For each and every value of "x" on the line, y = -2. The shortest distance occurs at y(4) = - 2.
At this point the distance is:

The distance is 4.
Is there any graphs ? can you mark me as brainlist :)?
