What is the y intercept of the line passing through the point (5,-6) with the slope of -1/7

The equation of the line would be y = -1/7x - 37/7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to start with point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now we can input the slope in for m and the point in for (x1, y1)

y + 6 = -1/7(x - 5)

y + 6 = -1/7x + 5/7

y = -1/7x - 37/7

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25
