Given the points:
(x, y) ==> (-2, 4)
slope, m = 3
To write the slope intercept form, use the form below:
y = mx + b
Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
Now, substitute -2 for x, 4 for y, and m for 3 in the equation above to solve for b.
We have:
y = mx + b
4 = 3(-2) + b
4 = -6 + b
Add 6 to both sides:
4 + 6 = -6 + 6 + b
10 = b
b = 10
Therefore, the slope intercept form of the equation is:
y = 3x + 10
ANSWER:
y = 3x + 10
5/9 = .55555555555 yards traveled per hop
15/9 = 1.6666667 feet per hop
