I got the answer y=2x+21 I got this by counting the difference between the number in the chart for example: -7 +2 =-5, which is the next number in the chart. so the difference on the X side is +2 and the difference on the y side is +4. So then we divide 4/2 and we get: 2, so m=2. Then to find the x intercept we have to add on to the chart until we get a 0 or a 1 on the x side. (so now you should have 1 on the x side and 21 on the y side) so then we just plug in all these numbers into the equation, y=mx+b so the answer should be y=2x+21. We know it is linear because the data in the chart can be converted into the equation y=mx+b (I just finished doing this for a gradpoint assignment)
It’s - ( - 3 ) because a negative times a negative equals a positive so it wouldn’t be - ( 3 ) because it would turn into a negative number and - ( - 3 ) would be positive
