What is the function rule for the graph shown?

@Yttrium

OpenStudy (yttrium):

You have four given points, right? Using two of those points, you can find the slope through m = (Y2 - Y1) - (X2 - X1) after finding the slope, choose any of those points and transform it to Y - Y1 = m (X - X1). There, you will get the answer. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I still do not understand it

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Choose any two points from the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.0 and 12.3 right?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Sure. Any two points you want. Then solve for the slope let P1(9,0) and P2(12,3) Then solve for m, using the formula I gave you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you solve for m

OpenStudy (yttrium):

from P1 you will have x1 and y1 which is 9 and 0 respectively. So, apply the formula.

OpenStudy (yttrium):

get it @iceicebaby ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im sorry im really retarted today

OpenStudy (yttrium):

let me show you m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) note the pts (9,0) (12,3) therefore, m = (3-0)/(12-9) m = 3/3 = 1 Therefore m = 1

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Now. Using y-y1 = m (x-x1) let any points, say (3,0) therefore, y-0 = 1 (x-3) y = x -3 so that's it. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thank you so much i felt really retarded trying to do this lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i need one of theese y = 9x y = x + 9 y = x – 9 y equals one over nine times x

OpenStudy (yttrium):

let the point be (9,0) so, y-0 = 1 (x - 9) therefore, what is the answer? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=9x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or wait y= x -9 right?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

the 2nd one hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
