Question

Devon wants to write

an equation for a line that passes
through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points
are (8, 5) and (-12, -9). He writes the
equation
7x 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your
reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: The equation given is not in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b. The equation for the line which passes through the given points is y = 7/10x - 3/5.
