The answer is two thirds (or 2/3)
Hope this helps! :)
Point slope form: y - y1 = m (x - x1)
-------------------------------------------------
first you need to find the slope(m) by using the slope formula (seen below)
y2 - y1
m= ---------
x2 - x1
9 - 15
m= ---------
1 - (-2)
-6
m= --------- = -2
3
then choose either one of the coordinates you'd like and plug it in.
Im gonna use (-2, 15)
(y - 15) = -2 (x - (-2))
or
(y - 15) = -2 (x + 2)
slope intercept form: y = mx + b
-----------------------------------------------
you can use the slope formula to find that the slope(m) is -2
y = -2x + b
you can then plug in a coordinate to find b (the y-intercept)
I'll use (-2,15)
15 = -2(-2) +b
15 = 4 + b
-4 -4
---------
11 = b
in conclusion:
the slope(m) = -2
when (-2,15) is used
x = -2
y = 15
b = 11
standard form: ax + by = c
----------------------------------------
using the same coordinate (-2,15)
-2a + 15b = c
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the given data sets have x-values that are sequential with a difference of 1. That makes it easy to determine the sort of sequence the y-values make.
<u>first choice</u>: the y-values have a common difference of -2. This will be matched by a linear model.
<u>second choice</u>: the y-values have a common difference of +2. Again, this will be matched by a linear model.
<u>third choice</u>: the y-values have a common ratio of -2. This will be matched by an exponential model.
<u>fourth choice</u>: the y-value differences are 3, 5, 7, increasing by a constant amount (2). This is characteristic of a sequence that has a quadratic model.
