Oh gosh oh I thought had the president of the
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (70-52)/(8-1)
= 18/7
=2.6
point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-52 = 2.6(x-1)
distribute
y-52 = 2.6x-2.6
add 52 to each side
y = 2.6x+49.4
y = 2.6x +49
the initial temperature is 49.4 or about 49
and it increases about 2.6 degrees each week
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The only thing important in this question in the original equation is the slope, which is 3, the multiplyer for x. To find the opposite slope follow the steps below.
The first step is to make the original slope into a fraction.

Then flip the numerator and denominator.

Now multiply this value by -1.

There is the opposite slope of 3.
So the 74% that you have right now is the other 80% of your grade. So you multiply it by its weight and solve for the other one making it equal to 78%.
(.74)(.8) + (.2)(x) = .78
.592 + (.2)(x) = .78
(.2)(x) = .188
(x) = .94
So, you need to get a 94% on your final test.
