Question

Complete the equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points
(9, 7) and (4, –8).

y − = (x − 9)

Answer 1

hello?

Answer 2

@perl

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

first I would find the slope

Answer 5

well if you subtract your x and y values from one another, you'll see that the X value loses 5, and the y value loses 15 points. from that you can determine the gradient.

then use this figure to find where y=0 for the intercept

Answer 6

Let's use an equation that you are probably familiar with. (there is more than one equation of a line)

Are you familiar with
y = mx + b

Answer 7

yeah im familiar with it

Answer 8

pking is right, what he calls gradient we call slope
