Answer 1

b = 6

p = 4.5

n = 2.5

Explanation:

Substitute the given point (1,5.5) in the equation to evaluate b:

5.5 = -0.5 (1) + b

Simplify:

5.5 = -0.5 + b

Solve for b:

b = 5.5 + 0.5

b = 6

The equation for the line is therefore:

y = -0.5x + 6

Substitute the given point (3,p) in the equation to evaluate p:

p = -0.5(3) +6

Simplify:

p = -1.5 + 6

p = 4.5

Substitute the given point (7,n) in the equation to evaluate n:

n = -0.5(7) + 6

Simplify:

n = -3.5 + 6

n = 2.5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Start by finding b

y = -0.5X + b

x = 4

y = 4 Substitute these values into the line

4 = -0.5*4 + b Combine

4 = -2 + b add 2 to both sides

4 + 2 = b Combine

6 = b

Line equation

y = -0.5x + 6
