QuestionGiven the points $(-1,-5)$ and $(-4,16)$, answer the questions:
1. Slope is: $-7 \checkmark$
2. Point-Slope Form is: $-7(x+5)=y+1 \vee$ (Use the first point)
3. Slope-Intercept Form is: $\square$

Studdy Solution
Convert the point-slope form to slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$:
Start with:
$$y + 5 = -7(x + 1)$$
Distribute the $-7$:
$$y + 5 = -7x - 7$$
Subtract 5 from both sides to solve for $y$:
$$y = -7x - 7 - 5$$ $$y = -7x - 12$$
The slope-intercept form is:
$$y = -7x - 12$$
The slope-intercept form is $\boxed{y = -7x - 12}$.
