Question

F. How does "y - 7" relate to the slope?

Answer 1

m= -2.0

x₁=1.0

y₁=6.0

A. The designated point in the line is (x₁,y₁) (1,6)

B. The point slope equation is:

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

`\begin{gathered} y-6=-2\mleft(x-1\mright) \\ y-6=-2\cdot x-(-2)\cdot1 \\ y-6=-2x+2 \end{gathered}`

C.

Slope intercept form:

`\begin{gathered} y-6=-2x+2 \\ y=-2x+2+6 \\ y=-2x+8 \end{gathered}`

The y- intercept is 8

D. When x increases one unit, y decreases 2.
