OpenStudy (dannyo19):

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.

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

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

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

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?

OpenStudy (dannyo19):

-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 ?
