To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.

.
In this case, the slope is

.
Remember that subtracting a negative number equals adding the number without the negative sign.
a-(-b) = a+b
Now for the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, where x = 0.
You have the coordinate (0, -1), where x = 0. So the y-intercept is -1.
Putting these values into the slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation is
y = -5x - 1
Answer:
I think is C.............
Disagree, the fractions are unequal and 10/15=66% while 15/20=75%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So,it would be easier to simplify the right equation, so when I say "the right equation", I mean the one I will make right now. It is 8x+9. So the first problem is 8x+9=x+?. Well, if there are no solutions, the slopes have to be the same, and the y-int doesn't matter. So the answer would be + 7x because that will make the x an 8x. If there is one solution, then the slope has to be different. So literally anything but 7x will work. Even constants. If there are infinitely many solutions, then the equations have to be the same. Meaning, you would have to add 7x and 9 to make the left equation the same as the right.
