What is the slope and equation of the line?

3 is your slope; y = 3x - 2 is your equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope. Note the slope-formula: slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Set the points:

(x₁ , y₁) = (1 , 1)

(x₂ , y₂) = (2 , 4)

Set the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables

slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

slope = (4 - 1)/(2 - 1)

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

slope = (4 - 1)/(2 - 1)

slope = (3)/(1)

3/1 is your slope

Note that the slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b

Plug in 3 for slope, and use a point (in this example: (1, 1)

Plug in 3 for slope, or m

Plug in 1 for x, and 1 for y

1 = (3)1 + b

Simplify. Combine like terms

1 = 3 + b

Isolate the variable. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 3 from both sides

1 (-3) = 3 (-3) + b

b = 1 - 3

b = -2

You're Equation of the line is: y = 3x - 2

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
