Question

Find the equation of this line.
y =
x +[]
Simplify the fractional part.

Answer 1

y = 1/3x +2

Explanation:

when x =o, y=2

when x= -6, y=0

so slope is always the difference between the Ys divided by diff b/w the Xs

so the slope is (2-0)/(0-(-6)) = 1/3

the intercept by definition is when x=0, so it's 2

so Y = 1/3 X +2
