\[
m = -\frac{3}{2}, \quad b = -2
\]
- For the second graph (Equation 7), identify two points on the line. Let's use the points (-4, 3) and (4, -3).
- Calculate the slope (m) using the formula \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \).
- Using the points (-4, 3) and (4, -3):
\[
m = \frac{-3 - 3}{4 - (-4)} = \frac{-6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}
\]
- The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. From the graph, it is clear that the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 0).
\[
b = 0
\]
\[
m = -\frac{3}{4}, \quad b = 0
\]
