Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

What's the y-intercept here?

Answer 3

1

Answer 4

No, almost.

Answer 5

It's actually going to be negative.

Answer 6

-1

Answer 7

@iGreen

Answer 8

Yep, that's right..now we have to find the slope of the line.

Answer 9

We have (-1, 2) and (1, -4).

Plug them in the slope formula:

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(m = \dfrac{-4-2}{1+1}\)

Add & Subtract:

\(m = \dfrac{-8}{2}\)

Can you divide that?

Answer 10

-4 right?

Answer 11

@iGreen

Answer 12

Yep, so the slope is -4, and the y-intercept is -1.

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b is y-intercept.

So what's the equation gonna be?

Answer 13

y=-4x+-1

Answer 14

Yep!

But you don't need the plus sign there:

y = -4x - 1

Answer 15

um that's not one of the answers.... @iGreen

Answer 16

Oh, sorry that's -6 / 2..which is -3..so the equation is y = -3x - 1
