Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through (-4, 5) and a slope of -2

y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b.

In this case, m = -2, and we can plug in values of x and y to get b.

5 = (-2)(-4) + b

b = 5 - 8 = -3

Our equation them becomes y = -2x - 3.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
