The formula to find the rate of change is y2-y1/x2-x1
6-(-4)/-3-(-1)
=10/-2

Answer: b = 17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The line must go through the point (5,2) which means x = 5 and y = 2 pair up together.
We'll plug these x and y values into the equation and solve for b.
y = -3x+b
2 = -3(5)+b
2 = -15+b
2+15 = b
17 = b
b = 17
The equation y = -3x+b turns into y = -3x+17

ok
b to a
goes back 1 letter
then b to d
skips 3 letters forward
then d to e
1 forward
e to h
skips 3 forward
h to g
goes 1 back
g to k
goes 3 forward
pattern seems to be
1back, 3 forward, 1 forward, 3 forward, repeat
so we are at 3 forward after than 1 back, so the next one is 1 forward
1 forward from k is l
the next letter is L
The answer is C
You find this by dividing Y by X
