The formula is y=mx+b
To get the slope or m, use this formula
(the second y minus the first y)/(the second x minus the first x)
Now set it up.
(10-7)/(2--1)
3/3=slope is 1.
y=1x+b
Insert one of the points for x and y.
i will do (-1,7)
7=1(-1)+b
7=-1+b
8=b
Insert this into the final equation:
y=1x+8
Try it out. If you're not sure, try both points. If it works, then you set it up correctly.
Find if all the ratios are proportional to 1:8. 2:16 is, so is 3:24, and 4:32. 4.5*8=36, and 5:40 is proportional. 6:48 is, and 6.5*8=52. The table is proportional, just divide the pay by the hours and you should be getting 8.
6 is multiplied by 2 1/3 to get to 14. 70 divided by 2 1/3 is 30. The model of the train is 30 inches long.
[Add] 1.
-9h = 30 + 15
[Simplify] 2.
-9h = 45
[Divide] 3.
h = - 45/9 ( A negative Divide)
[Answer] 4.
h = -5
