Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find two points on the graph that are easy to read.
Start at one point. You must now go to the other point, but you can only move vertically (up and down) and horizontally (right and left.)
Move vertically toward the other point. Count the number of units you moved. Up is positive, and down is negative. This is the rise.
Now move horizontally to the second point and count the units. Right is positive and left is negative. This is the run.
slope = rise/run
Yes. I just did this question on a test actually
Answer: 1. the negative of the conclusion is true
If you look carefully at the graph, you may see that the slope of the line is
3-4 -1
---------------- = ------ = m
7-4 3
thus, you have the slope of the line and two points on the line. Suppose we
choose the point (4,4) and subst. the known slope and the coordinates of this point into the point-slope formula for the eqn of a str line:
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y-4 = (-1/3)(x-4)
This is the desired equation. You could, if you wished, change this into slope-intercept form.
