Step-by-step explanation:
66. Δy = -3.4 Δx
Δy/Δx = -3.4
The slope of the line is -3.4. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:
y = -3.4x + b
Plug in the given point to find b:
2 = -3.4(4) + b
b = 15.6
Therefore, the equation is y = -3.4x + 15.6.
Use the equation to find the y coordinates.
68. Repeat the same steps as 66.
Δy = -1.7 Δx
Δy/Δx = -1.7
The slope of the line is -1.7. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:
y = -1.7x + b
Plug in the given point to find b:
3 = -1.7(-7) + b
b = -8.9
Therefore, the equation is y = -1.7x − 8.9.
Use the equation to find the x or y coordinates.
