First understand that this is a linear graph. Find 2 points on the graph. We can use (0,1) and (3,-3).
Look at how much the x increases, in this case the x value increases by 0+3, so 3.
Then see how much the y value increases (make sure to evaluate them in the same order) 1 + (-3) = -2.
So you know that the y value decreases by 2 units for every 3 unit increase in x. Therefore the slope is y=(-2/3)x
Then figure out what you add to the end. The y intercept is (0,1), so add 1 to the end of y=(-2/3)x to move it up.
Your resulting eq is y=(-2/3)x+1
Answer: 75%
Step-by-step explanation: So 15/20 simplified is 3/4 and 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75. To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply 0.75 by 100 to get 75%.
8+11 is 19

Answer:
A) y = 4x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
y = 4x + b
7 = 4(2) + b
7 = 8 + b
-1 = b
y = 4x - 1
Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:

The first number is three times the second number. So:

Substitute:

Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:

And divide both sides by two:

So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
