Question

Please solve this graph by finding the slope.​

Answer 1

y = 2x - 23 is the equation of the graph.

Explanation:

The slope = (-7 - (-9) / ( 8 - 7)

= 2 / 1

= 2.

General form is y = mx + b

m = slope = 2 and the point (7, -9) lies on the line so:

-9 = 2(7) + b

b = -9 - 14 = -23.

So the equation of the graph is y = 2x - 23.
