Question

Need to get this problem done.

Answer 1

1.  can you find the slope, from the given data(you should be able to do it)

2.  then recognize that b= -1 (y intercept), so you can put numbers in  y=mx + b  and yoiu're DONE.

 

I recommend paying lots of attention to your teacher and your textbook--reading it is quite useful.
