Answer:
yes the x increases by 6 and the y decreases by 3.
y = -1/2x - 7/2
Explanation:
find the slope :
(1,-4), (7, -7)
y2- y1 / x2 - x1
substitute those numbers and you get -1/2.
point slope form :
y - y1 = m(x- x1)
y - (-4) = -1/2 ( x - (1))
y+4 = -1/2(x-1)
slope intercept form :
y = -1/2x - 7/2
