Question

write slope-intercept form (-4,4)(4,-2)

Answer 1

I'm inclined to write in: y=-4x+4 and y=4x+(-2), but do I have to solve also?

Answer 2

You must first find your slope. To do that remember \[(y _{2} -y_{1})/(x_{2}-x_{1})\] This gives you (-2-4)/(4-(-4)) = -6/8 = -3/4

Answer 3

so, as far as the form y-mx+b.....I can plug in y=-3/4x+?

Answer 4

After that use point slope for to get y - 4 = -3/4(x-(-4)) - > y -4 = -3/4x - 3 -> y = -3/4x +1

Answer 5

ok ty

Answer 6

You need to either use point-slope form or determine your y intercept after finding the slope before you can write it in slope-intercept form.. The above is the answer.
