Answer:
y = -3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of an equation you can do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Plug the values in from the equation and you get (-1+7)/(1-3), or 6/-2. This means the slope is -3. Then you plug the values of y and x into an equation y = -3x + b, and you get -1 = (-3)1 + b. Solve for b. -1 = -3 + b, (add 3 to each side) 2 = b. Then plug b back into your equation and you get y = -3x + 2
First you would turn it into long division then you would just divide from there it is pretty easy
First find the number of ft around the garden and if it took Clare 30 min to walk the entire distance divide your previous answer by 30 so you can see how many ft per minute she was walking
