Step-by-step explanation:
you drew already the right things, you have everything.
so, what is the problem ?
the most common form of line equation is
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line. it is expressed as the ratio
y coordinate change / x coordinate change
when going from one point to the other.
b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).
once we have the slope, we get b by using the coordinates of one of the given points as x and y in the equation and solve for b.
so, for the 2 marked points you showed correctly the differences :
x changes by +8 (from -4 to 4).
y changes by -2 (from 3 to 1).
so the slope is -2/+8 = -1/4
the y-intercept we also see directly in the chart : +2.
No. No. It is not linear because the slope has to be able to be plugged in to any x, y coordinates and be placed on the line.
M-5-(-12) would equal m+7 because there is a negative before the parentheses and in the parentheses which means you would change it to a positive so, negative 5 plus positive 12 is 7 and since the 7 is positive you would add m (hope this helped)
The answer is c! you just subtract: 3/2-1/2, which is 1.
