Algebra.Com's Answer #365363 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 0= -y + 3 + 7 x find the slope of each line \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"y\": \n" ); document.write( "y = 7x+3 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = 3 \n" ); document.write( "If x = 1, y = 7+3 = 10 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Notice that y gained 7 when x gained 1. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "That tells you the slope is 7 because \n" ); document.write( "the slope = (change in y)/(change in x) \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( " |
