Find the slope that passes between the points.

(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

J(-4, -5)

K(-6, 3)

(3 - (-5)) / (-6 - (-4))

(3 + 5) / (-6 + 4)

8 / -2

-4

Now slap that slope into the formula and substitute on of the coordinates to the formula to solve for b (I'll take point K's coordinate):

y = mx + b

y = -4x + b

3 = -4(-6) + b

3 = 24 + b

3 - 24 = b

- 21 = b

b = -21

If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, then the value of b is -21 and is denoted as option A.

What is Slope?

This is also referred to as the gradient of a line and measures its steepness and direction.

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Parameters

J(-4, -5) and K(-6, 3)

= (3 - (-5)) / (-6 - (-4))

= (3 + 5) / (-6 + 4)

= 8 / -2

= -4

Substitute one of the coordinates into the formula to solve for b

y = mx + b

y = -4x + b

3 = -4(-6) + b

3 = 24 + b

3 - 24 = b

b = - 21
