For the equation y=7x+3 the value of X changes from 1 to 2

2 Answers

When x=1, 7x+3 = 10. When x=2, 7x+3 = 17. When the value of 'x' changes from '1' to '2', the value of 7x+3 changes from '10' to '17' . . . a distance of '7' . That's what the ' 7x ' in the equation means, and that's what we mean when we say that the 'slope' of the equation is '7'. 'y' changes '7' for every '1' that 'x' changes. Hope this helps :))

When x=2, 7x+3 = 17.

When the value of 'x' changes from '1' to '2', the value of 7x+3 changes
from '10' to '17' . . . a distance of '7' .

That's what the ' 7x ' in the equation means, and that's what we mean
when we say that the 'slope' of the equation is '7'. 'y' changes '7' for
every '1' that 'x' changes.
