Question

The graph of a line has a slope of 6 and a y-intercept at 0,7. How would this look in an equation?

Answer 1

The equation for a linear function that shows the slope and y-intercept of the line is the "slope-intercept form"

The structure for this form is:

`y=mx+b`

Where

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

So for a line with slope m=6 and y-intercept with coordinates (0,7), to determine the equation you have to replace the given values in the expression

m=6, b=7

`y=mx+7`
