The velocity, slope, of a line is always (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:
slope=(8-2)/(7-9)=6/-2=-3
m=-3
Answer:
its the first answer choice!
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are looking to write an inequality equation that models this situation, then the answer would be:
. The "at most" signals to use the less than or equal to sign.
y = -
x - 34
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 68, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 34 )
m =
=
= - 
the y-intercept = (0, - 34 ) ⇒ c = - 34
y= -
x - 34
