Question 238874: i need to write this equation in slope intercept form for the line that satisfies the given equation. it contains (-5,-3) and (10,-6) Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (-5,-3) and (10,-6)
Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=THE Y INTERCEPT.
SLOPE=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)=(-6+3)/(10+5)=-3/15=-1/5 IS THE SLOPE
-3=-5*-1/5+b
-3=1+b
b=-3-1
b=-4 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT.
Y=X/5-4 IS THIS LINE EQUATION. (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 15, y from -10 to 10, -x/5 -4).
