To solve this you just need to convert this equation to slope intercept form to do this you just need to isolate y. To isolate -3y subtract 9x from both sides and your problem should look something like this 3y = -9x + 15 the -9 is the slope but you need to simplify that in order to do that divide both sides of the problem by 3 now your problem should look like this y = 3x + 5. The answer is B or positive 3

A line passes through the points (7, 3) and (8, 3). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Sati [7]

Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The y values are the same, so there cannot be a slope. The (mx) part of y=mx+b is cancelled out, and is left with the b. Since the y value is forever three, the y-intercept will be 3 as well.

Therefore, the slope-intercept equation is

y=3

Applying Rate of change

olga nikolaevna [1]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
minutes(x)&Mbs\ left(y)\\
-----&-----\\
2&38.4\\
8&9.6
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby \textit{rate of change}
\\\\\\
m=\cfrac{9.6-38.4}{8-2}\implies m=-\cfrac{24}{5}\iff m= -4.8$

now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing, namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded

so is -4.8

now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done

so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes

now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5, let us nevermind the sign for now

since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5

how much is it for 10 minutes? well 10 is really just 5 * 2

so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
