Question
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given conditions.The line has an $x$ -intercept at $-4$ and is parallel to the line containing $(3,1)$ and $(2,6)$
Step 1
The formula for the slope is given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$. Substituting the given points into the formula, we get $m=\frac{6-1}{2-3}=\frac{5}{-1}=-5$. Show more…
