you already solved the problem good job!!!!!!!!!

3 over 2 is the simplest form you can put this answer in.
We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".
<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>
Gained 20 means +20.
Loses 15 mean -15.
Therefore, we can setup an expression as:
<h3>+20 -15.</h3>
20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.
Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.
20-15 = 5 pounds.
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b...ur slope will be in the m position and ur y int will be in the b position
examples : slope = 2 , (1,3)....x = 1 and y = 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 2(1) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b
so in slope intercept form, ur equation is : y = 2x + 1
================
another example : slope = 3 , (-2,-4)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(-2,-4)...x = -2 and y = -4
now sub and find b, the y int
-4 = 3(-2) + b
-4 = - 6 + b
-4 + 6 = b
2 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 2
