Question

Write an equation that represents the line. Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is hard to know exactly by eye balling the graph  I can't dissern the y intercept it might be 4.5 but it could be 4.33, but it looks for sure like the x intercept equals 6 but does it

the dots on the line are at (-2, -6) and (2, 3)  so we can find the slope m

in the y = mx + b line equation   b is the y intercept

m = Δy/Δx     =  (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

                     =  (-6 - -3) /  (-2 - 2)

                     =     -3 / -4

                 m = 3/4

       y = 3x/4  +  y intercept     which i can't dissern (read directly from the

                                                  graph, but we believe y = 0   when x is six

       0 = 3(6)/4  + y intercept

       

       -18/4 = 18/4 -18/4  + y intercept

        -9/2 = y intercept

        -4.5 = y intercept

   y = 3x/4 - 9/2          i think exact number means NO FRACTIONS but that is whole number so let me gaggle it  What are exact numbers?  Gaggle indicates exact numbers are integers   example  3 ft in a yard 12 eggs in a dozen

    y = 3x/4 - 9/2               multiple both sides by 4

   4y = 3x  - 36/2

   4y = 3x - 18    <------------------  FINAL ANSWER
