Step-by-step explanation:
the general slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.
b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).
so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?
I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).
to go from the first to the second point :
x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).
y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).
the slope a is therefore -1/4.
and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).
so, the line equation is
y = (-1/4)x - 6
So the ratio to longboard to short board is 1:4, the total of that ratio is 5. 35 ÷ 5 = 7. now we're going to take those ratios and multiply 1 × 7 = 7 and 4 × 7 = 28. Your final answer is B. to confirm your answer add 28 + 7.
