Answer:
9 is closest whole number
Answer is a
You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)
Now we need to find the slope by the following
Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.
Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.
Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
Answer:
I will do a step by step explanation to help you.
First, subtract 16 from 31 so you can simplify what you need to find. We will call the unknown number X. So 5x = 15
15/5 = 3 so X = 3
Lets plug in X
3 x 5 + 16 = 31
Makes sense!
Hope this helps
(3 - 0.49) / 3 = 2.51/3 = 0.836 = 83.6% is saved
