Question

Can someone help write a rule for 3+4?

Answer 1

3)
the line intercepts x=0 with y=-1
and passes through (3,-2)
so over 3 x-"steps" it decreased by 1, so it's slope is (-1/3)=-0.333

in standard form the equation of the line is: y=(-1/3)x-1

4)
from the entries (-3,16) and (-1, 12) we have an x difference of 2 and y was reduced by 4
so the slope is=-4/2=-2
add this slope to the x=-1 value to get the x=0 value:
12+(-2)=12-2=10 (=y at x=0)

again fill the values into the line standard form:
y=-2x+10
