Answer:

0.8x - y = -1.8, x-int = 2.25, y-int = -1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4, -5) and (1, -1)

slope = [(-5) - (-1)] / [(-4) - 1] = -4 / -5 = 4/5 = 0.8

Let y = 0.8 x + b

Sub (-4, -5) into it

-5 = 0.8 * (-4) + b = -3.2 + b

b = -5 + 3.2 = -1.8

The equation is y = 0.8x - 1.8

standard form: 0.8x - y = -1.8

let y = 0, 0.8x - 1.8 = 0

x = 1.8/0.8 = 2.25   (x-intercept)

let x = 0, y = -1.8    (y-intercept)
