Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
A linear function is written in the form of
, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Each of these expressions can be converted to coordinate form, (-2,9) and (6,7).
<h2>Slope</h2>
Slope can be calculated by the difference in the x-values divided by the difference in the y-values.
Solve
The slope is -1/4.
<h2 /><h2>Y-intercept</h2>
The y-intercept is found by plugging in the x and y values of a coordinate and the slope and then solving for b.
Solve
<h2>Equation</h2>
We can find the equation by simply plugging in all the values that we found.
Equation: 
Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2 degrees per hour
9 hours
1hour = 2 degrees
2hours= 4 degrees
3hr= 6 degrees
4hr= 8 degrees
5hr=10 degrees
6hr= 12 degrees
7hr= 14 degrees
8hr= 16 degrees
9hr= 18 degrees
So you are basically doing 2x9 to get your answer
