Question

Write an equation of the form y = mx for the line shown below.

Answer 1

y = (5/3)x + 2/3

Explanation:

find slope

rise/run

(4--1)/(2--1)

(5)/(3)

M = 5/3

then plug in a point to get the y-intercept

4 = (5/3) * 2 + b

4 = 10/3 + b

subtract 10/3 on both sides

2/3 = b

in y =mx +b the equation is

y = (5/3)x + 2/3
