Answer:
0.8x - y = -1.8, x-int = 2.25, y-int = -1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
(-4, -5) and (1, -1)
slope = [(-5) - (-1)] / [(-4) - 1] = -4 / -5 = 4/5 = 0.8
Let y = 0.8 x + b
Sub (-4, -5) into it
-5 = 0.8 * (-4) + b = -3.2 + b
b = -5 + 3.2 = -1.8
The equation is y = 0.8x - 1.8
standard form: 0.8x - y = -1.8
let y = 0, 0.8x - 1.8 = 0
x = 1.8/0.8 = 2.25 (x-intercept)
let x = 0, y = -1.8 (y-intercept)
