ANSWER: y= -4x+1
slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

to find m, which is the slope, we used
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (rise over run)
=(-15-(-3)/4-1)
= -12/3
= -4

to find b, choose one of the points and use the slope -4 and plug it in:
y=m(x)+b
-3= -4(1)+b
-3= -4+b
1=b

The circle graph is usually used to show proportions of a whole.

The Venn Diagram is used to represent the relationship between two or more collection of objects.

The double bar graph is used to compare two variables over a period of time.

The line graph is used to compare the trends of a variable over a period of time.

Therefore, the graphical representation that would best display the number of points a home team and a visitor’s team scored in each game this season is the double bar graph.
