Answer:
1. 4
2. rise = 2; run = 1; slope = 2
3. y = 2x + 4
Explanation:
1. Look at the graph. On the y-axis, the line passes through 4. The line crosses the y-axis at 4, so 4 is the y-intercept, and b = 4 in the equation y = mx + b.
2. Choose any two points on the line. I choose the y-intercept, (0, 4) and point (-1, 2).
slope = rise/run
We need to go from point (-1, 2) to point (0, 4) by only moving vertically and horizontally. Start at (-1, 2). Go up 2 units. That is a ris of 2. Now go right 1 unit to arrive at point (0, 4). that is a run of 1.
slope = rise/run = 2
3. We have b = 4, and m = 2.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 4
