First find the slope $\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope$

2. pooja195

$\LARGE \frac{5-(-2)}{-3-(-4)}=slope$ $\LARGE \frac{5+2}{-3+4}=slope$

3. rhr12

what about the value of b? @pooja195

4. pooja195

You can do it once u find the slope

it says "blank 1 and blank 2"

Hi im sorry we dont GIVE answers we can GUIDE you.

in y = mx + b, the slope is in the m position and the b stands for the y intercept. first find the slope by using the formula above ^^. Then take 1 of your points...either one, and sub the x value in for x and the y value in for y and the slope (m) value in for m in y = mx + b...then solve for b. Do this and what do you get ?

9. pooja195

Or u can use the point slope formula once u figure out the slope $\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where m=slope (x1,y1)

true ^^
