Which is the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form?

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[y1-y2=m(x-x1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two things that you should look for first are the slope (m) and the y-intercept

pooja195 (pooja195):

Solve using the formula

@Soniatonia does this make sense? if you need anymore guidance on how to use the formulas, let us know!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do need some help @TheGh0st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you could go ahead and look at where the slope crosses the y-intercept. which is at 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you look at the slope itself. In this case, its going down, so the slope would be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you can find the slope using the rise over run method? have you heard of it? @Soniatonia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh alright, so you see how many spaces the slope goes up over how many boxes sideways it goes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in this case, it would be 4 over 1, which becomes plain 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So at the end, your slope is -4 and your y-intercept is 1. So using the formula y=mx+b, what is your equation? @Soniatonia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= -4x + 1
