Answer:

Many solutions are possible. One example is (10,5) and (5,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the distance between points represented as a ratio of vertical to horizontal distances. It is a difference or subtraction. To find two points work backwards. What two points have y values with a distance of -2?

5-7=-2

So the points are (x,5) and (x,7).

Now what x values have a distance of 5?

10-5 = 5

So the points are (10,5) and (5,7).

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a linear function, use y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line on the graph crosses the y-axis. On the graph is crosses at (0,-4). So b=-4. To find the slope, subtract the difference between two points on the line which cross through a grid line intersection. (0,-4) is one point. (3,-3) is another.

$\frac{-3--4}{3-0}=\frac{-3+4}{3} =\frac{1}{3}$
