Question

(1.0, 228,000), (3.0, 204,000) If I have these numbers to work with, how do I figure out the slope-intercept

Answer 1

( x , y )

(3.0, 204000)
-(1.0, 228000)
-------------
( 2 , -24000 ) slope = y/x = -12000

Answer 2

That is what I got, but I am having trouble with the slope-intercept of the problem it does want to work

Answer 3

Can you tell me what numbers to plug in where. y=m(x)+b

Answer 4

if my computer behaves :)

Answer 5

Thanks

Answer 6

y = mx + b
| | |
y = -12000 x + 240000

Answer 7

where did the 240,000 come from

Answer 8

i plugged in an easy pointt from above: (1,228000)

228000 = -12000(1) + B

228000
+12000
--------
240000 = B

Answer 9

thank you
