Use the model y=f(x)=mx+b.
Fact #1: x=3, y=1 => 1 = m(3) + b
Fact #2: m=-7
Substitute -7 for m in the first equation. Find b.
Then m=-7, and b=?
Fact #1: x=3, y=1 => 1 = m(3) + b
Fact #2: m=-7
Substitute -7 for m in the first equation. Find b.
Then m=-7, and b=?
m = slope so here m = -7
when x is 3 , f(3) = 1
so
1 = -7(3) + b
b = 22
m = -7 and b = 22
when x is 3 , f(3) = 1
so
1 = -7(3) + b
b = 22
m = -7 and b = 22
