Answer:
One equation would be y= -1.5x +11
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a table to show the coordinates
x: y:
8 -1
-------------------
-4 17
the x coor. 8 goes down by 12 to get to the next x coor. -4.
8-12= -4
the y coor. -1 goes up by 18 to get to the next y coor. 17.
-1+18= 17
therefore 18/-12 is -1.5 which can be your k in y=kx+b.
Check your answer.
-1.5*8= -12 but when you add 11, you get the y coor. -1
Do the same with the other x coor.
-4*-1.5= 6 + 11 =17
11 can be your b in the slope-intercept form equation.
One equation may be y = -1.5x +11

x/8 = 18/x

x^2 = 8*18</span>
Hope this answer helps you
Let n = the number of points
(x-1) + ... (x-x)
The last term will always be 0, when you reach that, stop.
ex. 1pt: 1-1=0
2pt: (2-1) + (2-2) = 1
3pt: (3-1) + (3-2) + (3-3) = 3
