Answer:
A line is increasing if it goes up from left to right. The slope is positive, i.e. m > 0 {\displaystyle m>0} .
A line is decreasing if it goes down from left to right. The slope is negative, i.e. m < 0 {\displaystyle m<0} .
If a line is horizontal the slope is zero. This is a constant function.
If a line is vertical the slope is undefined (see below).
Answer: The expression is 7/2.
Hello!
First of all we find the slope by dividing the difference of the y values by the difference of the x values as seen below.

The slope of our line is 7/2, or 3.5
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now we will put the slope and a point on our line into slope intercept form and solve for b. We will use (-3,11).
11=3.5(-3)+b
11=10.5+b
b=0.5
Our final equation is shown below.
y=3.5x+0.5
I hope this helps!
