Step-by-step explanation:
1 is the least and 3 is the greatest
1 y=mx+b m=slope therefore slope =1
y=mx+b is the equation of a line;
m=slope , b= y-intercept
m=4 ; so we have : y=4x+b
We are give a set of points which it passes through, we can simply plug them in:
-2 = 4(3)+b (3 is the x and -2 is the y)
We get -2 = 12 +b .... -14=b
our final equation is : y=4x-14
Ok so right now leave the x's alone. Now add/subtract the numbers without variables which would equal to 0 since -1+4 = 3 and 3-3 =0
now 7x+x =8x so 8x is answer
