Question

Examine the following graph of y=1/4x+2.

If the point (−4,b) is on this line, what is the value of b?

Enter your answer as the correct value, like this: 42

Answer 1

b = 1

Explanation:

they are asking what is y when x is -4. We can look on the graph and see that when x = -4, when is 1. It is the point (-4,1).

We can also see it algebraically. We can replace x with -4 and solve for y

y = 1/4 x + 2

y = 1/4((-4) + 2

y = -1 + 2

y = 1
