Bill draws a regular octagon with the perimeter of 32 units.He picks a vertex of the octagon and draws two line segments through
the interior of the octagon on each different opposite vertex.His line segments divide the octagon into three quadrilaterals.what does the shape look like ?

Let's replace x with -4 and simplify
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (-4/4) + 7
y = -1 + 7
y = 6
This means x = -4 and y = 6 pair up together.
So 6 goes in the box under the -4
----------------------------------------------------------
Repeat those steps for x = 0
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (0/4) + 7
y = 0 + 7
y = 7
So 7 goes in the box under the 0
----------------------------------------------------------
Let's repeat those steps for x = 4
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (4/4) + 7
y = 1 + 7
y = 8
So 8 goes in the box under the 4
----------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, for x = 8, we get
y = (x/4) + 7
y = (8/4) + 7
y = 2 + 7
y = 9
9 goes in the box under the 8
----------------------------------------------------------
The y outputs we got were: 6, 7, 8, 9
Notice how each time y increases by 1, x goes up by 4.
This means slope = rise/run = 1/4
We can think of x/4 as (1/4)x to help see that the slope is 1/4.
