The slope of the line that passes through the points (14/5) and (20, -4), so you take y-y/x-x so you substitute the y's in for 5 and -4 and x in for 14 and 20.
5--4/ 14-20
9/-6
Then you make the fraction smaller!
-3/2 = Answer <span />
-35,-36,-37,-38,-39,-30,-29,-28,-27,-26,-25,-24,-23,-22,-21,-20,-19,-18,-17,-16,-15,-14,-13,-12,-11,-10,-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
The initial value is the y-intercept, or it's like the starting point.
If the equation has an initial value of 10, b = 10
Your answer is the 2nd option because the y-intercept is 10
