SOLUTION: if your ordered pair to find your slope is (-4,-1) and (-3,-2) what are the steps to find your slope and y-intercept?

Yes! good job!

Hi,

1)Use the ordered pairs given and the point-slope formula:

 to find m

2)Once you have found m, substitute one of the order pairs into:

y = mx + b to find b



1)(-4,-1) and (-3,-2) 

m = -1/1 = -1

2. y = -x + 6

Using (-3,-2) to solve for b

-2 = 3 + b

-5 = b

y = -x -5
