Question

Find the equation of the line
Y= _x + _

Help!

Answer 1

y = 3/4x - 2

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0, -2) (8,4)

We see the y increase by 6 and the x increase by 8, so the slope is

m = 6/8 = 3/4

Y-intercept is located at (0, -2)

So, our equation is y = 3/4x - 2
