Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{4} x-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you find the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the points (-4,2) and (0,-5).

Slope (m) = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-5-2}{0-(-4)} =\frac{-5-2}{0+4}=\frac{-7}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{4} x-5[/tex]
