Question

1. What is the slope of the line?

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1
2. Write the equation for the line using y=mx

Answer 1

1.
`m=2`

2.
`y=2x`

Explanation:

1. To find the slope we will use the slope formula
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(2) )`.

We have two points located at (0,0) and (1,2)

Use these points and plug it into the slope formula.

`(2-0)/(1-0)`

`(2)/(1)`

`2`

Our slope in this case is 2. So,
`m=2`.

2. To write the equation, we must use
`y=mx+b`

We found out that m=2. So we will use that in our equation.

b is usually the y-intercept, but since our y-intercept is 0, we do not need to write it.

So, your answer is
`y=2x`

Answer 2

y=2x+1 SLOPE is 2

Explanation:

(0,0)

(1,2)

Formula- y2-y1/x2-x1

2-0/1-0= 2/1
