Follow the steps and write the equation represented by this graph.

step 1: write the general equation.

step 2: identify b, the y intercept (x = 0) b=

step 3: the second point from graph (x, y) p=,

step 4: define m as ratio of rise / run m = rise /

step 5: put coordinates into ratio and get (7 - ) / ( - 0)

step 6: perform subtraction; get slope / 1

step 7: substitute values into y = mx + b

step 8: write answer y = x +

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

it would be 4 over -2 divided by -1 over 3.

if you want a solution it would be 4

you flip it so it would be 4/-2 divided by 3/-1 then it would be 12/3 and you would simplify it to 4
