Question

Help me i dont know how to do this

Answer 1

y = x - 13

Explanation:

Write the equation of the function represented in the table.

The equation should be written in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where

• m = slope

• b = y-intercept

Step 1. Find the y-intercept

The y-intercept is when x = 0 so by looking at the table, when x = 0, y = -13 meaning our y-intercept is -13

Step 2. Find the slope

The slope can be found using the slope formula:
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` where

• 
  `x_1,y_1` are the coordinates of the first point
• 
  `x_2,y_2` are the coordinates of the second point

(You can use any point that you'd like)

I will use (4, -9) and (0, -13)

`m=(-13-(-9))/(0-4)`

`m=(-4)/(-4)`

`m=1`

The slope is 1

Step 3. Write the equation in slope-intercept form

y = x - 13
