Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (0, 2). y =

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Determine the slope

where the two given points are and

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into :

2) Determine the y-intercept

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

I hope this helps!
