Solve for x.
x > 3
(It goes to the right, with the starting point open)
Answer:
B. y = -2/3x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to find the slope when given two points on a line:
<u>y</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u>1</u>
x2 - x1
Substitute the two given points (6, 8) (9, 6):
<u>6</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>8</u>
9 - 6
Slope = -2/3x
We found the slope! And the answer choices already gave us one y-intercept, which is 12. The last thing we do is we form an equation with the information we solved and that was given to us.
y = slope (x) + y-intercept
y = -2/3x + 12
The answer choice that matches this equation is B.
In conclusion, the equation that best estimates the line of best fit shown above is answer choice B.
Do long division but the answer is 2/7 or 0.2857
