Y = -x/3 + b1 = -3/3 + b
substitute values of point1 = -1 + b
then reduce2 = b
add one to both sides y = -x/3 + 2
<span>The place value positions to either side of a number are related because they are 10 times smaller or ten times bigger — a number in the hundreds column in ten times bigger than the same number in the tens column, for example.</span>
To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
HEYY ok so the first question (comic book one) is 2637 comic books.
