Question

Find the equation of the line.
Use exact numbers.
y= x+

Answer 1

y = 3/4x -2

Explanation:

We first find the slope of the line using two points

(0,-2) and (8,4)

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( 4---2)/(8 - 0)

= (4+2)/(8)

= 6/8

= 3/4

We can write the equation in slope-intercept form using

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

b is where it crosses the y axis. It crosses at -2

y = 3/4x -2
