Y = -1/2x + 6.....the slope is -1/2 and the y int = 6 or (0,6)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1/2
(0,6)....x1 = 0 and y1 = 6
now we sub
y - 6 = -1/2(x - 0) <==

** You basically just label ur variables and sub them into the point slope form

I am confused on how to do this? please help!

You would take random numbers preferable smaller ones such as -1,0,1,2
You would put those in the place of x
Then you would square the value of x. After that you subtract 4. Whatever you come out with is your y value. Then you put the x value on the x axis and from that point count up or down to the number you need on the y axis. Together that would be your point

Which of the following is a reasonable estimated answer to the following problem?

bulgar [2K]

$989,867 \approx 1,000,000$
$999 \approx 1000$

$\implies \frac{989,867}{999} \approx \frac{1,000,000}{1000}$
$\frac{1,000,000}{1000} = 1000$

So the answer is approximately 1000.
