Which can be the first step in finding the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, negative 4) and (negative 1, 8) in slope-intercept form?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't see a list of first steps but it should be finding the slope of the line:

The slope = rise / run

= (-8 - (-4) / (1 - 5) = -4/-4 = 1.

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in finding the equation of the line is plotting the points. The next step is to go up 12 units from the bottom point to reach the second point. Then, go left 6 units to find the difference in x-values. Finally, use the slope to connect the points with a line.

I graphed the points and the line on the graph below.
