Answer:

Explanation:

okay don't feel bad, you actually got it right, let me help you with some holes!

You calculate slope by the rise over run. These people are confusing you a bit - do problem 2 then 1

the vertical change is -1 horizontal change is 3 so by rise/run=-1/3

-1/3 is the slope

for the second problem this is confusing but just read and try to analyze

vertical change/horizontal change = 5-4/0-3= 1/-3(or -1/3)

The y intercept is the point where the line hits the y axis, so at point (0, 5)

The function is y=mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

so y=-1/3x+5
