Answer:
The graph increases 5 in the vertical direction for every 1 unit increase in the horizontal direction. It crosses the y axis at the point -3
Step-by-step explanation:
As we increase x by 1 (going from 1 to 2)
y goes from 2 to 7 or an increase of 5
As we increase x by 1 (going from 2 to 3)
y goes from 7 to 12 or an increase of 5
There for the slope is change in y/ change in x = 5/1
The y intercept is the value when x = 0 , which is -3
The equation is in the form y = mx+b
y = 5x-3
The graph increases 5 in the vertical direction for every 1 unit increase in the horizontal direction. It crosses the y axis at the point -3
