Answer:

12

Explanation:

The missing number is the y-intercept (b) of the table of values given.

Since we already know from the equation that the slope (m) = -³/2, therefore to find y-intercept (b) substitute the coordinates of a pair of value, say (x, y) = (4, 6), and m = -³/2 into y = mx + b

Thus,

6 = -³/2(4) + b

6 = -6 + b

6 + 6 = b

b = 12

The missing number is 12.

Which will give you:


y = -(3)/(2)x + 12
