y=+-3x+%2B+4
y%280%29=4
y%281%29=1
y%281%29-y%280%29=-3

y=++%282%2F3%29x+%2B+7
y%280%29=7
y%281%29=7%2B2%2F3
y%281%29-y%280%29=2%2F3

The change in y divided by the change in x is directly related to the coefficient for x in the equation (the slope of the line).

Find the change in y when x increases by 1:
y= -3x + 4
at x = 0, y = 4
at x = 1, y = 1
y changes -3 when x changes +1
The equations are in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
m is the slope, and is -3. That's the ratio of change, y to x

Or
y= 2/3x + 7
