Question 686011
{{{highlight_green(y = (2/5)x-6)}}}
This is the equation they are expressing
...
For the table, you are asked to solve for y with 5, 10 and 15, which are x
x | y
5
10
15
Plug in the x value to solve for y
y = {{{(2/5)(5) - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4}}}
so (5, - 4) is the pair
y = {{{(2/5)(10) - 6 = 4 - 6 = -2}}}
so (10, -2) is the pair
y = {{{(2/5)(15) - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0}}}
so (15, 0) is the pair
...
The table would then be represented as 
x | y
5 | -4
10 | -2
15 | 0
also given was the ordered pair (0, -6) which is the y intercept
0 | -6
...
Graph the coordinates/points (5, -4), (10, -2), (15,0) and (0, -6).
Draw a line through the points to create your graph.
{{{graph(300,200,-5,20,-10,5,(2/5)x-6)}}}
...
The y=mx+b is the general slope-intercept format for a linear equation.
In this format, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
