Question

The graph represents the cost y (in dollars) to open an online gaming account and buy x games. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the graph.

Answer 1

y = 10x + 15

Explanation:

you pick two points on the line

I picked (3,45) and (6,75)

you subtract the two x’s and y’s

75 - 45 = 30 (30 is the rise) you go up from 45 to 75

6 - 3 = 3 (you move 3 times to the right to get to the 6) so 3 is the run

slope = rise/run so 30/3 = 10

The y-intercept is the place you start on the graph so that is 15
