Question

What is the equation of the line that is graphed below?

Answer 1

y = 1/2x-3

Explanation:

The line intercepts the y-axis at -3, so that is your y-intercept. To find the slope, count how many units it takes to get from the y-intercept to the second point. in this case, that would be up 3, right 6. So the slope, m, is 1/2.

Answer 2

y=1/2x-3

Explanation:

the rise is 1 and the run is 2, and the y is -3 because the line crosses over -3 in the y axis.
