You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y+=+%28-3%2F7%29x-2 has a Slope=m%5B1%5D=%28-3%2F7%29
Now, the line in question has a slope , m%5B2%5D=m%5B1%5D
m%5B2%5D=-3%2F7
then thru points (-4,-3):
following Slope-Intercept form:
y=mx%2Bb
-3=%28-3%2F7%29%28-4%29%2Bb
-3=%2812%2F7%29%2Bb
b=-3%2B%28-12%2F7%29=%28-21-12%29%2F7=-33%2F7, Y-intercept
So therefore, highlight%28y=%28-3%2F7%29x-%2833%2F7%29%29%29%29, ANSWER
Let's see the graph:
-----> RED, y=%28-3%2F7%29x-2 , GREEN, y=%28-3%2F7%29x-%2833%2F7%29 passing thru points (-4,-3),
.
Thank you,
