Question

PPLSS HELLP!! y=___x+___

Answer 1

y= 1x-5

Explanation:

This grpah shows a linear equation, for which the formula is y=mx+b. M is the slope, and b is the y-intercept, which means the point on the y-axis when x is zero.

So far= y=_x-5

Now to find the slope, you can take 2 points and use the slope formula, which is
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

I used the points (1,-4) and (0, -5)

(1,-4)

`x_(2) , y_(2)`

(0,-5)

`x_(1) ,y_(1)`

Plug into formula

`(-4-(-5))/(1-0)`

negative minus negative becomes a positive

`(-4+5)/(1)`

`(1)/(1)`

The slope is 1, so the equation of the graph is

y= 1x-5
