Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 4) and (- 4, - 5) . Put your answer in fully reduced slope intercept form , unless it is a vertical or horizontal line

y=9/4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope

m=(-5-4)/(-4-0)

m=-9/-4 = 9/4

next plug the slope and the point (-4,-5) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=-5

x1= -4

m=9/4

y- -5 = 9/4(x - -4)

y+5=9/4(x+4)

Distribute 9/4 first

y+5=9/4x + 9

subtract 5 on both sides

y=9/4x+4

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
