Answer:
3 whole multiply by M subtracted from 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this easier to read, I'll be substituting 1/2 for .5; they mean the same thing, but it's less confusing to type it in its decimal form.
7x + .5 + 6x - 9.5
Combine like terms (x's can be added together, and so can reg. numbers)
(7x + 6x) + (.5 - 9.5)
13x - 9
So the rise/run is -4/1 (since the line goes down 4 units when it hits a line directly, and wherever the line hits (in this case unit 1 on the x-axis)). This will be your m. Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, therefore your equation will be y==4/1x+b. to find b, you need to look at where the line hits the y-axis. It hits it at point 4. therefore your final answer will be y=-4/1x+4
