Question

Which equation represents the pass from Max (0,0) to Drew (6, 3)?

Answer 1

y =
`(1)/(2)` x

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 3 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(3-0)/(6-0)` =
`(3)/(6)` =
`(1)/(2)`

the line crosses the y -axis at (0, 0 ) , then c = 0

y =
`(1)/(2)` x ← equation representing the pass
