phi · Answer

they want you to make up the equation for two different lines
slope is "books read per month"
x is month

if we assign numbers to the months  June=6, July=7, 
then you can change the table to
6,3
7,6
8,9

you have 3 points.  You can use any two to find the equation of the line

y is the number of books read

find the equation, then set y =10  and solve for x (the month)

anonymous · Answer

3x + 4 = 5x - 10

 3x - 4 = 5x - 10

 3x + 4 = 5x + 10

 3x - 4 = 5x + 10

---
10 books this year
2 book each month = 24 per year   

express it like this 

2x+10  = total books read  Janet   where x is month  


now for sam
ax+b=sam total books.   Where x is month a is howmany per month and b is how many books has he read this year so far.

anonymous · Answer

you can make june =1  for x   and july 2 and so on and so on.
