Answer:
y = 3x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The number beside the x is the slope. The number at the end of the equation is the y-intercept.
All the answers are in this form:
y = mx + b
m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.
With a 3 filled in for slope and -2 filled in for the y-intercept, you get:
y = 3x + -2
is the same as,
y = 3x - 2
Preston has 19 games and Horatio has 30 games.
You can set this as a system of equations, set Preston as x and Horatio as y.
Both of the amounts add up to 49, so we can get the equation:
x+y=49
Since Horatio has 11 more games, we can get the equation:
y-x=11
If we add the x to the other side, the second equation becomes:
y=x+11
We can plug in the second equation into the first and get the equation:
x+11+x=49
with a little simplification, we get x (Preston) is equal to 19. If we add 11 to it, we get Horatio's amount: 30
Y=mx+b
-1=-2+b
b=-1+2
b=1
y=x+1 <----------------
I'm assuming this is in rectangle format. The answer would be 1056
