Find the slope and the equation for the line passing through the point (−5,−0.75)(−5,−0.75) with x-intercept at x=−6

Answer:

Slope is -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating slope you can use the formula [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex] to find the slope. In this case that formula is using the 2 points (-5, -0.75) and (-6, 0). When those points are put in the equation becomes [tex]\frac{0+0.75}{-6+5}=\frac{0.75}{-1}=-0.75[/tex]. This means that the slope is -0.75.
