Question

Y=Mx+B how do i do this

Answer 1

y = 1/6x - 4/3

Explanation:

y = mx +b

slope m, = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

let's take any two co-ordinates from the given table,

x1, y1 = 2, -1

x2, y2 = 8, 0

slope, m = 0 + 1 / 8 - 2 = 1 / 6

y = 1/6x + b

let's take any x, y co-ordinates from the given table,

-1 = 1/6(2) + b

-1 - 1/3 = b

b = -4/3

thus, the slope intercept form will be written as,

y = 1/6x - 4/3
