Answer:
y = -4x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 points (1,-2) and (4,-14)
We can find the slope using
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-14--2)/(4-1)
= (-14+2) / (4-1)
= -12/3
= -4
We can use point slope form to write an equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y--2 = -4(x-1)
Distribute the -4
y+2 = -4x+4
Subtract 2 from each side
y+2-2 =-4x +4-2
y = -4x+2
This is in slope intercept form ( y= mx+b) where the slope is -4 and the y intercept is 2
