Question

How do you put the these coordinates (0, 1) and (1, -4) write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

First, we need to find the slope of the line using the coordinates (0, 1) and (1, -4).

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope (m) = (-4 - 1) / (1 - 0)
Slope (m) = -5 / 1
Slope (m) = -5

Now that we have the slope, we can use one of the points to find the y-intercept (b) of the line. Let's use the point (0, 1).

y = mx + b
1 = -5(0) + b
1 = b

Now we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y = -5x + 1
