Hey there I need some assistance need on this problem. What do I mean by checkpoints and how am I supposed to find the y-intercept and the slope from the given values?​

Slope Formula: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

(m and slope represent the same quantity)

m = 1 - - 5 / -4 - 0

m = 1 + 5 / -4

m = 6 / -4

m = -3/2

Now that we know the slope, we can plug the slope and one of our points into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and solve for b. I will be using the point (-4,1).

y = -3/2x + b

1 = -3/2(-4) + b

1 = 6 + b

b = -5

In point form, the y-intercept is (0, -5).

Therefore, to get the equation all we need to do is plug in our slope and b-value to slope-intercept form.

Equation: y = -3/2 x - 5

To check the point (-6, -14) we plug it into our equation and see if the two sides are equal.

-14 = -3/2(-6) - 5

-14 = 9 - 5

-14 = 4

-14 does not equal 4, therefore the point is NOT on the line.

Hope this helps!
