I'm really stuck please help @pooja195 @wio

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

hmm, thats hard to read thru at my age ... spose we have 2 points: (a,b) and (p,q) we can use either point to form an equation with such that: y = m(x-a) + b or y = m(x-p) + q m is the slope between the points which has a formula: m=a−pb−q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

y = m(x-0) + 300 m = ... ugh, my initial thought is flipped upside down m = 300-0 ------ = - 300/450 and simplify 0 - 450

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

300/450 30/45 6/9 2/3 y = 2/3 x + 300 seems to be a good fit for the line

OpenStudy (nathalyn):

@wio what do you think

OpenStudy (phi):

Can you "read off" two points on the graph (easiest to do where lines cross) what is one (x,y) pair on the line. can you find one?

OpenStudy (phi):

For example, can you find the x and y of the point in the middle of the circle?
