I'm thinking that as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the slope is 1/2 and if you extend the line, it will intersect around 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

nvm, i mixed up the numbers, the slope is still 1/2 though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

don't worry about it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the answer is still 1/2x + 5 or something close to it
