Question

There is a line that includes the point (0, 0) and has a slope of 1/10 1. What is its equation in What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

To find the equation of the line, we know that a line is represented by the following expression (slope-intercept form):

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where, m is the slope and b is the intercept} \end{gathered}`

We can get this expression, by using the slope-point form:

using the point and the slope given,

`\begin{gathered} y-y_0=m(x-x_0) \\ y-0=(1)/(10)(x-0) \\ y=(1)/(10)x-0+0 \\ y=(1)/(10)x \end{gathered}`

the equation in slope-intercept form is y=1/10x
