What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,1) and (4-1)

y=-1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1: The basic slope-intercept equation is y=ax+b. To achieve the slope with two points, this is the equation:

All you have to do is insert points (-4, 1) and (4, -1) into their corresponding locations.

With this equation, you will be able to find the slope. Then you can simply graph it to connect the two dots.

METHOD 2: Simply connect the two dots with a straight line (use a ruler or something with a straight edge.) Then count how many spaces up/down and left/right. If the line goes from top to bottom from left to right, it is a negative slope (hence, the -1/4.)

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
