Ndicate in standard form the equation of the line through the given points. p(0, -4), q(5, 1)

y=x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is y=mx+b

the coordinates (0, -4) tell you that the y intercept is at -4 which means b will be -4. To find slope you have to find the change in y over the change is x. 1--4=5 and 5-0=5. 5/5 is 1 so the slope, or m, is 1. x stays the same since it's the variable. it'll become y=1x-4 and since you don't have to place a coordinate of one in front of a variable, you can just write it as y=x-4

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
