Answer: y = (1/8)x + 3.625
Step-by-step explanation:
slope: y = mx + b
change from 3 to 4 is 1, this is our rise
change from -5 to 3 is 8, this is our run
1/8 = m
this is a really bad explanation but I know that
1/8 is equal to 0.125.
since there are 5 spaces from (-5,3) to the y axis, and that the slope is 1/8, i can multiply 1/8 x 5 to get 5/8.
5/8 =.625
since the x intercept is in between 3 and 4, it is 3.625.
3.625 = b
