Answer:
O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = 3/8
b = 12
y = (3/8)x + 12
---
Data in the table: slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).
Change in x and y between two points. I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).
Change in y: (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8)) = 3/8
Change in x: (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1
Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8
The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.
Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12). The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b. Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b. I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)
y = (3/8)x + b
Use (-2/3, -3/4)
-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b
-3/4 = (-6/24) + b
b = -(3/4) + (6/24)
b = -(9/12) + (3/12)
b = -(6/12)
b = -(1/2)
The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)
Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.
Answer:
Slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
We can define the slope as the "change in y values" divided by the "change in x values".
By change in, we mean, 2nd point MINUS the first point values.
The points given is:
(1,4) & (-1,-1)
<u>Change in y value:</u>
-1 - 4 = -5
<u>Change in x value:</u>
-1 -1 = -2
Slope is -5/-2 = 5/2
There is no answer choice. The correct answer is 5/2
