Answer:
Explanation:
The up sloping line rises one unit for every one unit increase of x
m = Δy/Δx = 1/1 = 1
Its y intercept is (0, 5)
y = mx + b
y = 1x + 5
y = x + 5
The down sloping line drops six units for every four unit increase of x
m = Δy/Δx = -6/4 = -1.5
Its y intercept is (0, -5)
y = mx + b
y = -1.5x + (-5)
y = -1.5x - 5
we can verify the common intersection point by entering x = -4 into each equation
y = -4 + 5
y = 1
y = -1.5(-4) - 5
y = 6 - 5
y = 1
