they want me to find the slope, y intercept, and the equasion using the table but my teachers didnt go over any of thid with me

Question

x	y
-3	-17
0	-5
1	-1
3	7

Answer 1

Slope = change in y/change in x. Pick any two points.

(-17 - (-5))/(-3 - 0) = -12/-3 = 4

Along the y-axis, x = 0, so the y-intercept is -5.

y = 4x - 5

Let's check.

-17 = 4(-3) - 5

-17 = -17

-5 = 4(0) - 5

-5 = -5

-1 = 4(1) - 5

-1 = -1

7 = 4(3) - 5

7 = 7

Bingo.
