Answer: y = -1/3x + 17/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there! I will be showing and giving the formula/steps to solve this problem. If there are any questions then feel free to ask in the comments.
Formula: y = mx + b
Step 1 - Find M
m = (6 - 4) / (-1 - 5) = -2/6 = -1/3
The m is the slope.
Step 2 - Use (5, 4) to find point B
y = -1/3x + b
4 = 1/3 * 5 + b
b = 17/3
Answer: y = -1/3x + 17/3
You will plugin 4 for y and b is the intercept.
