For the first one:
m is the slope, or how much the line goes up compared to goes right. In this case, the line goes up 40 every time it goes right 10. We write this as a fraction so 40/10, which simplifies to 4. Therefore the equation would be y = 4x.
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
If 4·10= 40 then 4·-10 would equal -40 bc a positive times a negative equals a negative.
Hope this helped!!
