This is a pretty complex problem
Hello!
The equation would be y= -2/6x + (-3). Since, the y-intercept is -3 and the slope/growth is -2/6 (it's decreasing).
To find the slope just make a growth triangle. We go down twice (then to the right 6 times).
Slope = (10-1)/(1+2) = 9/3 = 3
y = mx + b
1 = 3(-2) +b
1 = -6 + b
b = 7
equation
y = 3x + 7
or
3x - y = -7
answer is <span>3x − y = −7 (first choice)</span>
Here, we have to examine the equation of the straight line which is denoted by: y = m x +c where "m" is the slope which represents the steepness and c is the y-intercept
Here, the two linear functions have the same slope "m" and the same y-intercept "c". When both these are the same, the two linear functions are representing the same straight line.
Therefore, Jeremy is correct in his argument.
