Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line passing through the given pair of points.

(-7, -3) and (4, -5)

y = (-2/11)x + 110

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the points: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = m

(-5 - -3)/(4 - -7) which is also represented as (-5 + 3)/(4 + 7).

m = -2/11

Then, plug in the slope and one point in the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

-5 = -2/11(4) + b

110 = b

Finally, turn it into a general equation:

y = (-2/11)x + 110

what chart am i supposed to follow?

hi there

the slope is 1/3.

this is because from the y-intercept, you go up one, and you go to the right three, to get to the next exact point on the graph. this is known at the “rise over run.”

p.s. (if you need it).your y-intercept is -2, because that is the point on the graph where the line crosses the y-axis.

hope that : )
