Based on this data the point representing percentage of students who drink and drive in 2001 will be (1, 17.5).

The point representing the data of 2011 will be (11, 10.3). 

We have two points. Using these two points we can find the equation of the line.

Slope of the line = \frac{10.3-17.5}{11-1} =-0.72

Using the point slope form of the line equation:

f(t) - 17.5 = -0.72 ( t - 1 ) \\  \\ 
f(t) = - 0.72t + 0.72 + 17.5 \\  \\ 
f(t) = -0.72t +18.22

The linear function given above gives the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in year t, where t = 0 corresponds to year 2000.

Describe how the graph of y | x| -4 is like the graph of y= |x| and how it is different.
zhannawk [14.2K]
The graph y=|x|-4 is obtained from the graph y=|x| dy <span>moving down 4 units the graph y=|x|  along the y-axis (see, if x=0, then for y=|x|, y=0 and for y=|x|-4, y=-4).
</span>
These two graphs have the same form.

Help me with this question plz. Write the slope intercept form of the equation of each line.
damaskus [11]

Answer:y=-4/3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You first figure out the slope by counting the rise and run which is -4/3 in this case and then you look at where it intercepts the y-axis and add it to the end of the equation.
