pick a delta x. Say from 2to 5,or a deltax of 3
Notice the corresponding delta y is -3 to 0, a deltay of 3
slope= deltaty/deltax= 3/3=1
Now try it for other pairs.
7 to 10 would then be 3 and 2 to 5 is also 3 and then the last would be 12 to 20 would be 8 and 7 to 15 would be 8 so this would be a linear but then how do you write an equation?
y= mx+b
you know m as 1.
y= x+b
now put in any x,y pair, and solve for b.
y=1(3/8)+3?? is that right?
No. y=x+b
2=7+b
7-2=b I think you can get it from here :)
