Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First we need to find the slope, which is the incline of the line. To do this, you divide the difference of the y values by the difference of the the x values.

3-8=-5

-2-0=-2

-5/-2=5/2

To find the y-intercept, you want to find where the line hits the y-axis. Well, the point (0,8) tells us that the y-intercept is 8. The y-axis is where x=0, so our y-intercept is 8.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So....

y=5/2x+8.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

y = 5/2 x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:  Find the slope of the line

<u>y - y</u>  so <u>8 - 3</u> =  <u> 5   </u>  = 5/2 is the slope

x- x        0 - -2   0 + 2

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or (0, 8) where x is 0 and y is b

y = mx + b  

m = slope

b = y-intercept (where x = 0)

(x, y) are coordinate points on the line

So, y = 5/2x + 8

Can someone please explain to me how to do this!? From 58 books to 65 books?
Inessa [10]

The way this question is worded is quite confusing. If all you have given is ‘58 books to 65 books’, maybe you mean a range? In that case the range would be 7. Or you could be talking about how many books it would take for 58 to get to 65. In this case, it would also be 7.
