Answer:

y = mx+b

m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept

since you have the slope and a point you can find here the line crosses the y-axis

y = -1/2x + b

the point (-14, 6) can be substituted into the eq for x and y

(6) = -1/2(-14)+b

6 = 7 +b     (subtract 7 from both sides)

-1 = b

The line crosses the y-axis at -1

Answer:

y=-1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

y=-1/2x+b. This is the first part. You basically plug in the slope for m. To solve for b, you have to plug in the x and y coordinates into the equation

6=(-14)(-1/2)+b

6=7+b

-1=b

So now you have your slope and your y-intercept, plug it back into the y=mx+b format

y=-1/2x-1 would be the final answer
