X=5/9
Y=0.65
See below the following picture for the solution
I believe it’s 6
Hope this helps you :))
1) Create was we already know in the equation. 16=-7(-3)+b. (This is using the initial equation of y=mx+b.)
2) Simplify and solve for b: 16=21+b = -5=b
3) Replug your be value into your equation: y=-7x-5.
Answer
y=-7x-5
Words: y equals negative seven x, minus five.
