m=5 (1,-4)

Hi Dsettle...

If you set this up as Y=mx+b and plug in the numbers you should be able to solve for b... ;)

If you have trouble with that let us know, OK?

Back to you...

Mark

y = mx + b
-4 = (5)(1) + b
-4 = 5 + b
-4 + 5 = b
1 = b

the equation is y = 5x + 1

Llamanator's answer is incorrect here!

Also note, that it is against the rules of this board to just give the answer to a homework problem... doesn't help the students learn anything.

Can you see where you made your mistake llamanator?
