A carpenter working on a very tall house stood on the middle step of a long ladder. To install a window, he went up 4 steps. To get a tool, he went down 6 steps. Then he went up 7 steps to work on the window again. Then he went up 7 more steps to work on the next level. Finally, he went up the 7 remaining steps to the top of the ladder, and stood on the roof of the house. How many steps does the ladder have?

answer:

c) the x-coordinate of the center of the circle increases by 3

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points

if i knew id you bro,, my bad
