Question

Find the equation of the line shown.

Answer 1

4.5 is the answer because it says what is between 4and 5

Answer 2

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 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) ← 2 points on the line

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 of line
