The "m" in y = mx + b is the <u>slope.</u>
It is the number of units a point goes up, down, left, or right each time. Making the line linear/straight.
"rise" is the the number of units you go up(+) or down(-), "run" is the number of units you go to the right
For example, if your slope is:
You are going up 1 unit, and to the right 2 units
3 or 
You are going up 3 units, and to the right 1 unit
You are going down one unit, and to the right 2 units
-3 or 
You are going down 3 units, and to the right 1 unit
Answer: f(x) = -3x + 1
So the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because it’s across the y-axis so the y-intercept doesn’t change. Because it’s a reflection the slope just becomes the opposite of what it originally was, so in this case it will be -3
You can either make a table using any numbers you would like (I would suggest -5 to 5) and then graphing the rule
ex. (7/2)(-5)-2 = -19.5 (I multiplied (7/2) by -5 and then subtracted 2)
Or you can put the rule in a graphing calculator and check the points from there
Usually, quadratic equations equal 0, and to find the solution you need to make x equal the value that, when added or subtracted to the rest of its bracket, makes 0. This means that your answer is (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0, because 5 - 5 = 0 and 2 - 2 = 0. I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to explain further :)
This should be your answer
