Answer:
M = -2
b = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-8 -0)/(-1- -5)
= (-8-0)/(-1+5)
= -8/4
= -2
We now want to find the y intercept
y = mx+b is the slope intercept form of the equation
y = -2x+b
Using the point (-5,0)
0 = -2(-5) +b
0 = 10+b
Subtract 10 from each side
-10 = 10-10+b
-10 =b
The y intercept is -10
y= -2x-10
Answer:
-8x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
5x−2 from −3x+4 .
This means take the 2nd number and subtract the 1st
-3x +4
-( 5x -2)
----------------
Distribute the negative sign
-3x +4
- 5x +2
----------------
-8x +6
