Question

Write an equation for the graph below.
y = mx + b

Answer 1

y=2x+4

Explanation:

m is slope.

Slope is change in y over change in x.

Line goes up (+y) two for every move to the right (+x), so the slope is 2.

B is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses at 4, so B is 4.

Plug those into y=mx+b to get

y=2x+4.
