Question

Find the equation of the line.

Use exact numbers.
y =
x+
Can I please get an explanation :)

Answer 1

the equation is in form

y=mx+b where

m=slope

and

b=y-int (the y value for the vertex)

first we look to see what the y value is for the point where x=0 and we can see that it is 5 so b=5

then we look at the slope, slope it the amont of units up then to the side are needed to reach the next point, in this case the line goes up 1 then to the right 1 so the slope is 1/1 (1) so the full equation is

y=x+5
