Question

Given the table below, write a linear equation that defines the

dependent variable, t, in terms of the independent variable,s

Answer 1

y=-5/4x+14

Explanation:

Use slope formula (y2-y1 over x2-x1)

Pick to points

I will use (0,14) and (4,9)

9-14=-5

4-0=4

Slope is -5/4

To get the y-intercept you must find y when x=0

In your case when x=0 y=14

So y-intercept is 14
