Question

I need help with #66 and #68

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

66. Δy = -3.4 Δx

Δy/Δx = -3.4

The slope of the line is -3.4. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:

y = -3.4x + b

Plug in the given point to find b:

2 = -3.4(4) + b

b = 15.6

Therefore, the equation is y = -3.4x + 15.6.

Use the equation to find the y coordinates.

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\-4&29.2\\4&2\\6&-4.8\\18&-45.6\end{array}\right]$

68. Repeat the same steps as 66.

Δy = -1.7 Δx

Δy/Δx = -1.7

The slope of the line is -1.7. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:

y = -1.7x + b

Plug in the given point to find b:

3 = -1.7(-7) + b

b = -8.9

Therefore, the equation is y = -1.7x − 8.9.

Use the equation to find the x or y coordinates.

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\-19&23.4\\-7&3\\-2.412&-4.8\\3.2&-14.34\\9.1&-24.37\end{array}\right]$
