What is the equation of a line that goes through points (4,-5) and (-4, 1)?

y=3/4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b form (slope intercept form)

1) find slope

(4,-5) and (-4,1)

1-(-5)=6

-4-4=-8

m=6/-8 or 3/-4

y=-3/4x+b

Plug a coordinate in y=mx+b. Plug either (4,-5) or (-4,1)

in this case, I'll plug in (4,-5).

-5=-3/4(4)+b

Note that I substituted the y and x variables in place of one of the coordinates.

find b=-2.

Result: y=-3/4x-2
