Hey there!
The FORMULA is:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
y2 = -7
y1 = 5
x2 = 1
x1 = -2
EQUATION:
-7 - 5/1 - (-2)
-7 - 5 = -12 ⬅️ numerator (or your y-intercept)
1 - (-2) = 3 ⬅️ denominator (or your x-intercept)
EQUATION
-12/3
-12/3 = -4
Thus, your answer is most likely 4 (or if you’re looking for the equation of the line, the answer is: y = -4x - 3
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
