Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes
through the points (-4,2) and (1,-1).

Answer 1

1st Find the Slope....and then use Point Slope Form

Answer 2

This is going to require a few steps. The first step is to find the slope given the two points.
You will use the formula for slope:
\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 3

Y=-3/4X-1 thats what I had got

Answer 4

I got this for slope:
\[-\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 5

so is that what I should put down?

Answer 6

Well once you have the slope you need to use the point slope formula:
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
