Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that contains the points (4, -7) and (0, 5).

Answer 1

slope is -3

Answer 2

then use y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Answer 3

Slope: 5--7/0-4
12/-4 = -3
y = -3x + b

5 = 0 + b
b = 5
y = -3x + 5

Answer 4

y=-3x+5

Answer 5

so y - 5 = -3 ( x - 0)

y -5 = -3x

y = -3x +5
