Slope intercepf is y=mx+b wherem=slope and b= y intercept
slope is found by doing
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
points are (6,-1) and (-3,2)
(x,y)
x1=6
y1=-1
x2=-3
y2=2
subsitute
(-1-2)/(6-(-2))=-3/(6+2)=-3/8
slope=-3/8
subsitute
y=-3/8x+b
subsitute and solve for b
(-3,2)
x=-3
y=2
2=-3/8(-3)+b
2=9/8+b
2=16/8
subtract 9/8 from both sides
16/8-9/8=b
7/8=b
y=-3/9x+7/8 is the equation

David keeps records of his monthly earnings. Last month he worked 120 hours and earned $2700. This month he worked 100 hours and

lianna [129]

F(x) = 20x+300
you sub in the x values (120 hours and 100 hours) for each equation
the only one they both work for is the last one
f(x) = 20x + 300
f(100) = (20 * 100) + 300 = 2000 + 300 = 2300

f(120) = (20 * 120) + 300 = 2400 + 300 = 2700
