Question

Find the equation of the line shown.

Answer 1

y=x+6

Explanation:

First, write out the slope intercept equation.

y=mx+b

Ok, the first step for finding a linear equation is finding the y-intercept. The line crosses the y-axis at 6, so the y-intercept is 6. Plug that into the slope-intercept Equation:

y=mx+6

Then, slope is rise over run, and the line goes up 1 and right 1 to get to the next point, so divide those numbers.

1/1=1

Then plug that into your slope intercept equation:

y=1x+6

Since the one won't do anything, it will just be this:

y=x+6
