Point C already shows the value for b.

Use Formula for slope, m, the find slope for the line of AB.


Simplify this.

A( -1, 4 )
B( 3, 1 )
Slope = [ change in y ] / [ change in x ]



----------------------
is also the slope of any
line parallel to this on
-----------------------------
Use the general point-slope formula
C( 0, -3 )


Multiply both sides by
