A line includes the points (2, 0) and (5, 6). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
1 answer:
Answer:
y = 3x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Slope-intercept form is y = mx +b
2. Use the given coordinates to plug into the slope equation:
3. Now you have y = 3x + b
4. To find the y-intercept, plug in one of the coordinates to the equation you have so far. Using (2, 0):
0 = 3(2) + b
0 = 6 + b
-6 = b
5. Final answer: y = 3x - 6

-8400/68 simplifies to to -2100/17, dolphins/year, so 2100 less dolphins every 17 years.
and we can just divide those to get the decimal amount of -123.53, which means, 123.53 less dolphins every year.
of course, there's no such a thing as 0.53 of a dolphin, so, we can say "about" 123 less dolphins per year.
