Line cd passes through points c(1, 3) and d(4, –3). if the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, what is the value of b? –5 –2 1 5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

   = (-3-3)/(4-1)

  =-6/3

  = -2

Then we can use point slope form to make the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-3 = -2(x-1)

Distribute

y-3 = -2x+2

Add 3 to each side

y-3+3 = -2x+2+3

y = -2x+5

Since this is in slope intercept form, y = mx +b, the y intercept is 5

1 1/5
