Choose 2 points from the line
Btw the y-intercept is incorrect
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
oh dang
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
k give me a sec
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
but the line has to be touching the intercepts ;-;
I see only -4 touching the line
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
You can pick any 2 points from the line, not just intercepts

(2, -3) is not on the line
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
oh no i took two different points
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
You need from the line to find the slope
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
i thought you said dont pick intercepts
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
ANY point from the line works

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
that's what i did though
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
You chose that was not on the line
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
Nvm here let me tell you,
you see (0,-4) it's on the line
you see (-4,-1) the line passes trough that as well
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
Now we use the slope formula
\(\dfrac{-1--4}{-4-0}\)
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
Well yes, -4 was one of my original things I was going to put, but once you said it can't be intercepts, I guess I got confused.

I never said you couldn't
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
Oh wait...your right x'D
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
"You can pick any 2 points from the line, not just intercepts"
Meaning it doesn't have to be only intercepts
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
I realize that now.
But how'd you get -1
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
I chose the ordered pair (-4,-1) because it's from the line?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
oooooh ok
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
so -1 - (-4)= 3
----
and -4 - 0 = 4 ?
OpenStudy (.mehek.):

Which I'm trying to tell you that it has to be from the line, not just anywhere from the graph
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
ok I get it
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
-4 - 0 = -4

so the slope is
-3/4
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
y = `-3/4`x + `___`
now we need y-intercept
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
-4
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
?
OpenStudy (.mehek.):
yes
