Question

How do you write a linear equation that relates the height of a bunny hop to the weight of the bike. X is weight, y is height in inches. (19,10.2) (21,9.8) (23,9.4)

Answer 1

y= -0.2x+14

Explanation:

you have to do y2-y1/x2-x1 of any two coordinates or points so you could do 9.8-10.2/21-19 then you get -0.4/2 and that equals -0.2 so -0.2 is now ur slope or M. Next you pick any coordinate like (19,10.2) and you plug that into ur y=mx+b to find the b since you have found the m already from y2-y1/x2-x1. You could do 10.2= 19(-0.2)+b once you do the algebra to solve this you get 14 as your b or y intercept
