Question

PLEASE HELP ME!! 15 POINTS!! examine the following table, which represents some points on a line. x | 3, 0, -3, -6, -9 y | -3, -2, -1, 0, 1 What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form? a. y= -1/3x - 2 b. y= -1/3x - 6 c. y= -3x - 2 d. y= -3x - 6 e. y= 3x - 2

Answer 1

A (y = -1/3x - 2)

Explanation:

y^2 - y^1 1 - 0 1 1

Slope Form: ------------- = ---------- = ------- = ---------

x^2 - x^1 -9 - (-6) -9 + 6 -3

Intercept:

x | y

-------

3 | -3

0 | -2 ( y - intercept is when x is 0)

-3 | -1

-6 | 0

-9 | 1

y = - 1/3 x - 2
