Question

write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (-4,-8) and (-3,-3) please show work

Answer 1

find slope of line which is y2-y1/x2-x1.
-3-(-8)/-3-(-4) <__double negative cancel to become positvie
5/1=5
y=5x+b
if you need to find the y intercept you take one of your points and plug it into slope intercept form equation
-8=5(-4)+b
-8=-20+b
b=12

hope that helps :)

Answer 2

i messed up it should have been (-4,-8) and (-3,-2)

Answer 3

okay well its easy just plug your numbers into what i showed u
-2+8/-3+4=6/1=6
y=6x+b
-8=6(-4)+b
-8=-24+b
b=16

Answer 4

thank you. everything is starting to make more sense now

Answer 5

yeah np glad i could help
