Answer:
-3; (8, -20)
Explanation:
to find the rate of change we do (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
basically we choose 2 points on y and subtract them while using the 2 points on x and subtracting them
after subtracting them we divide change of y by change of x
for this one i chose (3, -5) and (6, -14)
-14 - (-5) = -9
6 - 3 = 3
-9 / 3 = -3
the rate of change is three
to find the y intercept we can use this equation
y = -3x + b
and then plug in things
ill plug in the first set of coordinates
-5 = -3(3) + b
-5 = -9 + b
b = 4
so the y intercept is b
using this equation
y = -3x + 4
we can find out what value y is when the x value is 8
-3(8) + 4 = -20
