Question

In 1-4, write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent each table (just the first 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

Q1 y = 17/2x - 2

Q2 y = -3x + 14

Q3 y = 1/4x

Q4 y = 1/8x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

See, the problem here is, you did everything to NOT convert the decimals into fractions. You would´ve had the right answers if you just learned to deal with the fractions. I´ll only going to be explaining 2 questions since there´s four of them.

Question Two

You take two points from the table, then you do y2 - y1 over x2 - x1.  -1 - 5 / 6 - 3 = -6/3 and 3 divided by -6 is -3. Which should give you "m" the slope. Which the slope for this question is -3. To find "b" our y-intercept, we will need to plug in the points from one of the two points we took in the chart into the format of y = mx + b. I chose to do, 5 = -3(3) + b. Multiply m times the x, 5 = - 9 + b. So now, we add 9 to itself to cancel itself out and add it to 5. Which gives us, 14 = b. So our equation is, y = -3x + 14

Question 3

This one is relatively easy, since looking at the table we know theres no b or m. Just a constant rate times x. The same thing we did the last question, take two points from the equation. y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. 1 - 0 over 4 - 0. Which gives us 1/4. 1/4 is our constant rate of change. y = 1/4x
