ill give you a meatalwhat is an equation for the line that passes through points (–1, –4) and (1, 4)? Write the equation in slope-intercept form

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is \(y = mx + b\) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, we need to find the slope of the line. Since we are given two points on the line, we can find the slope of the line. Are you familiar with the formula for finding the slope when you are given two points?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The slope of the line that passes through points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) \) is \(m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \).
