Find the equation of the line through the points (-4, -2) and (-3, 5). y =______ x+ ___________
First find the slope \[\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]
\[\LARGE \frac{5-(-2)}{-3-(-4)}=slope\] \[\LARGE \frac{5+2}{-3+4}=slope\]
what about the value of b? @pooja195
You can do it once u find the slope
it says "blank 1 and blank 2"
what are the answers
Hi im sorry we dont GIVE answers we can GUIDE you.
in y = mx + b, the slope is in the m position and the b stands for the y intercept. first find the slope by using the formula above ^^. Then take 1 of your points...either one, and sub the x value in for x and the y value in for y and the slope (m) value in for m in y = mx + b...then solve for b. Do this and what do you get ?
Or u can use the point slope formula once u figure out the slope \[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] where m=slope (x1,y1)
true ^^
