So it helps if you graph the points
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
Also notice that each corresponding y value is three less than the last. What does that imply about the change in y?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
idk
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
How about that it is -3. The change in x would be just 1, as the table indicates.

Change in y / change in x is your slope
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
idk i am really bad at math and i just need help with this one now can u plz make it fast, helpful and right plz............
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
rise over run is slope
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
? what ?
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
your y values lowered 3 units every 1 unit forward with x so your slope is -3

if your values raised 3 units every 1 unit forward with x your slope would be 3.
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
but how do i do this
y =______x +_____
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
That's y=mx+b form
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
m is your slope so you know that's -3
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
So -3 times your x value 2 for example is what?

-3*2?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
-6
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
we just found mx
now we have (-6) + b = y
y must equal -2
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
Since we know y=-2 when x=2 what is b?
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
? what ?
