Brooke found the equation of the line passing through the points (–7, 25) and (–4, 13) in slope-intercept form as follows. Step
1: m = StartFraction 13 minus 25 Over negative 4 minus (negative 7) EndFraction = StartFraction negative 12 Over 3 EndFraction = negative 4. Step 2: y = negative 4 x + b. 25 = negative 4 (negative 7) + b. 25 = 28 + b. 25 minus 28 = 28 + b minus 28. b = negative 3. Step 3: y = negative 3 x minus 4 What was Brooke’s error?
<span>miles per gallon uses ratios. Say your car was doing 80 miles for 4 hours. You would have the ratio 80;4 and you need to find the miles per 1 hour</span>
