Slope Formula:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-4, -2)

Point (3, -4)

Step 2: Find slope m

Substitute:                    Add:                              

Step 3: Find y-intercept b

Define:                    y = -2/7x + bSubstitute:              -4 = -2/7(3) + bMultiply:                  -4 = -6/7 + bIsolate b:                 -22/7 = bRewrite:                   b = -22/7

Step 4: Write linear equation

y = -2/7x - 22/7

Yes, that is the correct formula. to solve this problem given the number of years, plug in the number of years for t and plug the whole thing into the
