Question

What is the equation of the line passing through (4,-1) and (0,5)

Answer 1

y = -3/2x + 5

Explanation:

slope = (y2-y1)/)x2-x1)

m = (5--1)/(0-4)

m = (5+1)/(0-4)

m=6/-4

m=-3/2

the y intercepts is 5

(x=0 , y intercept) (0,5 ) so the y intercept is 5

y = mx+b b is the y intercept

y = -3/2x + 5
