Algebra I
Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Find points from graph.
x-intercept (-2, 0)
y-intercept (0, -6)
Step 2: Find slope m
- Substitute: [tex]m=\frac{-6-0}{0+2}[/tex]
- Subtract/Add: [tex]m=\frac{-6}{2}[/tex]
- Divide: [tex]m=-3[/tex]
Step 3: Redefine
Slope m = -3
y-intercept b = -6
Step 4: Write linear equation
Slope-Intercept Form: y = -3x - 6
