Yes it was reasonable. I say it is resonable because if you multiply 44 times 25 it is 1,100 so the estimate was close enough
Hi there!
First, let's find the slope of the two points using the slope formula (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1).
S = 4 - 2 / 3 - 5
S = 2 / -2
S = -1
Next, we'll plug in the slope and a point into point-slope form (y - y1 = s(x - x1)) in order to find an equation. I will show the work using both points, which will result in two different equations.
(2,5)
y - 5 = -1(x - 2)
y - 5 = -x + 2
y = -x + 7
(4,3)
y - 3 = -1(x - 4)
y - 3 = -x + 4
y = -x + 7
The two equations came out the same! Which is completely okay, and happens sometimes.
Hope this helps!! :)
