Answer:

A) y = -3x +7

B) y = (7/3)x

Explanation:

Maybe you want the equations of the lines.

Two points are marked on each graph. These can be used to compute the slope. One of them is the y-intercept, so that can be used in the slope-intercept equation.

A) m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (1 -7)/(2 -0) = -3

b = 7

So, the equation y = mx+b is ...

y = -3x +7

__

B) m = (7 -0)/(3 -0) = 7/3

b = 0

The equation is ...

y = (7/3)x
