Question

What equation passes through (0,5) and (-4,-1)

Answer 1

Answer: y = 3/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope/gradient:

$\frac{-1-5}{-4-0} = \frac{-6}{-4} = \frac{3}{2}$

Plug in a point to the equation:

$5 = \frac{3}{2}(0) + b$

Solve for b:

$5 = b$

New equation:

$y = \frac{3}{2}x + 5$
