so yuo see that y-intsept is 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=15 and x=150?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

no

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

y=slope is -1/10

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

y=-1/10x+????

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get -1/10

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

choose point 20, 13 and 0, 15. for exapmple use slope formula: (13-15)/(20-0)=-2/20=-1/10
