Answer:
-7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
I have plotted 8,10 and 2,17 on a grid and connected them with a line to help visualize the slope of the line we are trying to find.
The answer can also be written as a decimal as shown below, but it is neater to use the fraction.
Answer:
<u>Third Option</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points on the graph, (4, 5) and (-4, -5):
In order to determine the equation of the given graph in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:
Use the given points to solve for the slope:
Let (x₁, y₁) = (-4, -5)
(x₂, y₂) = (4, 5)
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Therefore, the slope of the line is: .
Next, use one of the given points on the graph, (4, 5) to solve for the y-intercept, b:
y = mx + b
5 = + b
5 = 5 + b
5 - 5 = 5 - 5 + b
0 = b
Therefore, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is: . The correct answer is Option 3.
