Question

Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points (if you have a graphing calculator, you can use the table feature to confirm that the coordinates of both satisfy your equation.

(0, 6) and (-10, 0)

a. y = -0. 6x + 6
b. y = 0. 6x 6
c. y = 6x + 0.6
s. y = -0. 6x -6

Answer 1

b. y=0.6x+6

Explanation:

First, find the slope using the slope formula,
`(0-6)/(-10-0)`. This is 6/10, which simplifies to 3/5 or 0.6. Then you need to find the y-intercept, however, this is already given to you. Remember that the y-intercept is when x=0, so (0,6) must be the y-intercept. Therefore the equation is y=0.6+6.
