- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Algebra I
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Point (-1, 4)
y-intercept (0, 2)
Step 2: Find slope m
- Substitute: [tex]m=\frac{2-4}{0+1}[/tex]
- Subtract/Add: [tex]m=\frac{-2}{1}[/tex]
- Divide: [tex]m=-2[/tex]
Step 3: Write linear equation
y = -2x + 2
