Answer 2

@iGreen.

Answer 3

First, we can find the y-intercept, that's the place where it intersects on the y-axis, and what's that?

Answer 4

4

Answer 5

Yes, so we have:

y = [_]x + 4

Answer 6

Now for the slope, we can take any two points on the line and plug it into the slope formula.

Answer 7

(0,4)?. . . or (5,0)

Answer 8

We can use both.

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

\(m = \dfrac{0-4}{5-0}\)

Simplify that

Answer 9

-4 and 5

Answer 10

Yep, so the slope is -4/5

So our final answer is:

y = -4/5x + 4

Answer 11

thank you

Answer 12

oh and @iGreen. its a creeper from minecraft. . . if thats what you ment by "and what's that?"

Answer 13

No I meant the y-intercept when I said that.

Answer 14

oo ok. . . awkward
