Question

Richard is frustrated. He knows the line to the right should have a 3 and a 4 in the equation but he can't remember if it is y = 4x + 3 or y = 3x + 4. a. Which equation is correct? How do you know?

Answer 1

The correct equation is "y=4x+3"

Explanation:

Given equation:

`y= 4x+3 \ \ or \ \ y=3x+4`

As per the given line formula:

`\to y=mx+c`

The slope(m) of the line is
`(4)/(1) = 4` and y-intercept at 3, that is the point (c). So, the correct equation of the line:
`y = 4x + 3`
