17) y= -3x+b
18) y= 5/4x+b
19) y= -2x+b
20) y= -1x+b
21) y= -1/2x+b
22) y= -4/7x+b
23) y= 1x+b
24) y= 1/3x+b
I put them into slope-intercept form. To show your work connect the points it goes rise over run. Count the points horizontally first and then vertically until the points are connected. Ex: for problem 20 count up and over and you get 1/1 and that simplified would be 1. Since the line points to the right rather than to the left means it’s negative. So in problem 20 the line points to the right which makes it -1. M=slope so y=mx+b is the slope intercept form. Slope can be a fraction,whole number, negative, positive, etc.

Left=positive Right=negative

Have a great day and don’t worry it gets easier!! :)

22) 4/7

23) -2/2 or -1

24) -1/3

Explanation:

the easiest thing to do is go by rise over run and count the number of units, hope this helped!
