Answer 1

I believe you made mistakes when calculating the y-intercept for the first equation.

Answer 2

The slope is correct, but the y-intercept is not.

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

We can plug in one point given and the slope into point-slope form to find the equation.

\(\sf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)

(-3, 7), slope = -2

\(\sf y - 7 = -2(x - (-3))\)

Can you simplify that equation?

Answer 5

Yes. one sec

Answer 6

Your second equation is correct.

Answer 7

The table already gives you the y-intercept.

(0, 5)

\(\sf y = -2x + 5\)

Answer 8

i see

Answer 9

Did you simplify the equation?

Answer 10

i got y=13x

Answer 11

No..

\(\sf y - 7 = -2(x - (-3))\)

\(\sf y - 7 = -2(x + 3)\)

Distribute -2 into the parenthesis, can you do that?

Answer 12

ohhh yes, i can

Answer 13

that would be 5x, right?

Answer 14

-5

Answer 15

No, how did you get that?

Answer 16

Distributing multiplies the number on the outside of the parenthesis to every term inside the parenthesis.
