Answer: (1) -3/4 (2) 7 (3) y = (-3/4)x + 7 (4) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) COUNT the number of spaces from one point to the other point.
from (0, 7) to (4, 4) is: down 3 and right 4 → m = -3/4
2) the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis (when x = 0).
The line crosses the y-axis at (0, 7) → b = 7
3) Slope-Intercept form is y = mx + b
m = -3/4 and b = 7 → y = (-3/4)x + 7
4) COUNT the number of spaces from one point to the other point.
from (-2, -4) to (2, -2) is: up 2 and right 4 → m = 2/4 = 1/2 when simplified
