Question

Write the equation of the lines resented below in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

mx = slope

b = y-intercept

We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.

To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.

`(y.2 - y.1)/(x.2 - x.1) = m`

We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.

Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.

1 - 0 / 3 - 1

1 / 2

The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.

The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:

y = 0.5x
