Question

Did i solve this equation right? if i didnt what did i do wrong/whats the right answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{2}$x +  $\frac{5}{2}$

✓ I believe you did do your work correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

[] First, we will find the slope.

-> M =  $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ or M = $\frac{y_{1}-y_{2} }{x_{1}-x_{2}}$

-> M = $\frac{ 1-4}{-1-1}=\frac{-3}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}$

[✓] Good job, you appear to have done the slope correctly

[] Next, we will solve for the y-intercept

-> This can be found by taking what we have so far of our equation, plugging a point in, and solving for b

-> y = $\frac{3}{2}$x + b

-> 4 = $\frac{3}{2}$(1) + b

-> 4 = $\frac{3}{2}$ + b

-> $\frac{5}{2}$ = b

[✓] Fantastic, it appears you have correctly found the y-intercept as well

Have a nice day!
