Answer:
y = -3x + 1, y = x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation consists of a slope and the y-intercept. To find the slope, you need to plug the values into the slope formula.
y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
= -8 - 4/ 3 - (-1)
= -12/ 4
= -3
The slope of the first line is -3.
To find the y-intercept, you need to plug in either one of the coordinates into the equation, y = -3x + b
-8 = -3(3) + b
-8 = -9 + b
1 = b
The equation, for the first one, is y = -3x + 1
Line 2:
11 - 8/ 2 - (-1)
= 1
y = 1x + b
11 = 1(2) + b
11 = 2 + b
9 = b
y = x + 9
