An equation in slope-intercept form looks like this: y = mx+b
In the equation, m is equal to the growth rate of the line on the graph and b represents the y-intercept (where the line meets with the y-axis).
For the line shown in the picture below, the equation is y = 1x + 2 (not exactly but based on estimates). Also, you can ignore the writing on the picture. (0-0')
y = 1x + 2
In this equation. 1 represents the growth rate and 2 represents the y-intercept.
So, when writing an equation, look for these two things:
y-intercept: where the line of a graph meets with the y-axis
growth rate: how much is the line increasing by on the y-axis for every unit on the x-axis?
