Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m is the slope (what you want)
b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0
Oh, right, we already have b, isn't that great!
Given point (0, -4), so b = -4
Point (-2, -1), where x = -2 and y = -1
-1 = -2m -4 (solve for m)
3 = -2m
m = -3/2
Check:
y = -3x/2 -4
y = -3(-2)/2 -4 -> should get y = -1
y = 3 -4 = -1
Yay, we have the answer!
