Recall that the slope or gradient of a line segment through two points is the ratio of the change in the <em>y</em> coordinate to the change in the <em>x</em> coordinate.
If the gradient is 1, then
1 = (-3 - 4) / (<em>a</em> - 3<em>a</em>)
Solve for <em>a</em> :
1 = -7 / (-2<em>a</em>)
1 = 7/(2<em>a</em>)
2<em>a</em> = 7
<em>a</em> = 7/2
First find the slope. 4+1/3-2 = 5/1 or 5. Plug in your points to find b. 4=5(3)+b. 4=15+b. b=-11. SO the equation is y=5x-11.
So,
53,879 rounded to the nearest hundred:
If the number in the tens place is greater than or equal to 5, then round up. If not, round down.
7 is greater than or equal to 5, so round up.
