To find the equation of the line, we need to figure out the slope and y-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, look at the number where the line intersects the y-axis. The number is 5. The equation so far is y = ?x + 5.
We still didn't figure out the slope yet. To figure out the slope, pick two points. Use the rise over run method. It is in the image below. The line is going up to the left, so the slope will be negative. Now we know the slope is -1/3. The equation now that we figured out the slope is y = -1/3x + 5.
I hope this helps you! Let me know if I got something wrong.
Not really sure what you mean by compare. The only thing I can think of is the y intercept is generally a good point to start from to count the rise/run
25 is the answer because 50% of 50 is 25
The corrects answers are B and D for this one.
Since you divide the same side for both the the rectangles on both parts and if the division statements are equaled, then they are similar.
For example;
Answer B.
50 / 10 = 5
and
30 / 6 = 5
Answer D.
7.5 / 2.5 = 3
and
4.5 / 1.5 = 3
Since they both equal the same for both of the rectangles for the answers individually, they are similar polygon rectangles.
Hope this helps!
