Answer:
y = -2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please look carefully at this graph. There are two red dots on the graph. The x- and y-coordinates of one are (-5,7) and those of the other are (0,-3).
Now as we move to the right, from (-5,7) to (0,-3), x increases by 5 and y decreases by 10 (note that 7-10 is -3). Thus, the slope of this line is
m = rise / run = -10/5, or m = -2.
Then the equation of this line, in point-slope form, is
y-7 = -2(x-[-5])x, or y-7 = -2(x+5). This is in point-slope form.
If you'd like to have it in slope-intercept form, manipulate y-7 = -2(x+5) as follows: (a) add 7 to both sides, obtaining y = -2(x+5) + 7, and (b) perform the indicated multiplication: y = -2x - 10 + 7, or y = -2x - 3.
Answer:
E. y = 2/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to make an equation in slope-intercept form.
First, you need to find the slope. You can do this by taking two points and dividing the difference of the y's by the difference of the x's. I will use the first two points, but you can pick whichever points you want and still get the right answer. Also, the values in the left column will be x's, and the values in the right column will be y's.
8 - 2 = 6
12 - 3 = 9
6/9 = 2/3
The slope is 2/3. The only equation with this value is E.
