Find the slope and write an equation with these to points (0,-2) (3,1)

plz explain

y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1)

m = = = 1

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2) ⇒ c = - 2

y = x - 2 ← equation of line

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
