Question

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
y=-2/3x+1 y=2/3x+1 y=3/2x+1

Answer 1

to get the equation of any straight line all we need is two points from it, let's use those ones in the picture.

`(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x+1`
