Just look at it this way do 8(1) instead of x and graph that on the x axis
then do 4(1)instead of y and graph on the y axis then figure out which numbers you need to keep inputting until you reach 56 on the graph.
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
4 2/9=8/9
8/9 x 6=48/9= 5 3/9
5 3/9= 5 1/3
A polynomial with a degree of 2 can be:
x² + 1
y² + 2
etc..
hope this helps
