The equation of the line will be given as y = -4x - (- 17/ 4).
What is an equation?
It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.
Given that:-
- The graph of a linear function passes through the points (-1, -1/4) and (1, -3/4).
The equation of the line will be given as:-
y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁)
slope m will be calculated as:-
[tex]m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{1+1}{\dfrac{-3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}}=-4[/tex]
The equation will be:-
y - (1/4) = -4( x + 1 )
y = -4x - (17/4)
Therefore the equation of the line will be given as y = -4x - (- 17/ 4).
