Answer to Problem 4.7EP

The slope intercept form is y = -4x - 3

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The line that passes through the pairs of point (-2 , 5) and (-4 , 13) .

Formula used:

Slope, m=y2y1x2x1

Slope intercept form y = mx + b 

Calculation:

Slope intercept form: The graph of the equation y = mx + b  (where m and b are real numbers) is a line with slope, m, and y-intercept, b.This form of the equation of a line is called the slope-intercept form.

Formation of point (-2 , 5) and (-4 , 13) into slope intercept form

  x1=2

  y1=5

  x2=4

  y2=13

Using slope formula to calculate slope of pair of points

  m=135(4)(2)

So,

  m=82

On solving,

Slope, m=-4

Using slope intercept form formula to calculate Y-intercept

Use any one of the given points to calculate Y-intercept

Point (-2 , 5)  taken to calculate Y-intercept

  5=-4(-2)+b

So,

  5-8=b

On solving,

  b=-3

Substituting value of b and m in the slope intercept form

  y = (-4)x - 3

So,

  y = -4x - 3

Hence, the slope intercept form is y = -4x - 3
