Answer:
[tex]y=-314x-1261[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When we are writing an equation we have to put it in slope-intercept-form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]. We already know the slope it's -314, we replace m with the slope. Now we have to find b which is the y-intercept. So what we have to do is plug in the ordered pair into the equation. -4 for x and -5 for y.
[tex]y=mx+b\\-5=-314(-4)+b[/tex]
Now we solve
[tex]-5=-314(-4)+b\\-5= 1256+b\\b=-1261[/tex]
So now that we know everything we need we plug in and....
[tex]y=mx+b\\y=-314x-1261[/tex]
we've got our equation!
Answer:
The line slants upward, so the slope is positive.
