To find slope, use the formula:
(y2-y1)/x2-x1)
So here is what it will look like:
(9--7)/(1--3)
Since you are subtracting a negative, then it turns unto a positive so you are adding the numbers together.
(9+7)/1+3)
16/4
4
The slope of the line is 4/1 or 4. Which means that you will go up or "rise" 4 and go to the left or "run" 1.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2) y = 0.95x + 4
3) slope: height increases by 0.95 units as x increases by 1 unit
intercept: initial height
Step-by-step explanation:
Using (20,23) and (40,42)
Slope: (42 - 23)/(40 - 20)
0.95
y = 0.95x+ c
23 = 0.95(20) + c
c = 4
y = 0.95x + 4
Marina is taller because since Juan is 4 feet, he is 48 inches tall and Marina is 52 inches tall so Marina is taller than Juan.
