Answer 2

You would find the slope and y-intercept....

\(\huge{\frac{8-2}{5-3}=slope}\)

What is the slope?

Answer 3

3

Answer 5

@jackthegreatest

Answer 6

yes slope = 3

Answer 7

y = mx +b
8 = 3 (5) + b
solve for b

Answer 8

And then, once you have 'b,' write the general equation in the form y = mx + b. Use the m and b values you've just found.

Answer 9

yep

Answer 10

so 8 = 15?

Answer 11

8 = 15 + b

Answer 12

b = -7

Answer 13

is the answer 3x + y = -7

Answer 14

"8 = 15?" No, never.

Answer 15

Choose either of the given points. Subst. the x- and y-coord. of this point into your own equation. Is the equation then true?

Answer 16

isthis the answer though?

Answer 17

3x + y = -7

Answer 18

I encourage you to learn ways in which you can check your own work. For this particular case I gave you the following advice earlier: 'Subst. the x- and y-coord. of this point into your own equation. Is the equation then true?" Please follow through. subst. 5 for x and 8 for y. Is the resulting equation true or not?
