Question 837541: Determine the equation of the table of values:
x:.....y:
2.....-10
6.....-34
11....-64
3.....-16
8.....-46

I chose the two points: (2,-10) & (6,-34)
first find slope:
m = y2 - y1
x2 - x1
m = -34 - -10
6 - 2
m= -24/4 = 6
y = 6m + b
how do I find the value of b?

Determine the equation of the table of values:
x:.....y:
2.....-10
6.....-34
11....-64
3.....-16
8.....-46

I chose the two points: (2,-10) & (6,-34)
first find slope:
m = y2 - y1
x2 - x1
m = -34 - -10
6 - 2
m= -24/4 = 6 ************* = -6
y = 6m + b ************** m is the slope
It's
y = -6x + b
Use that and either point to find b.

how do I find the value of b?
