Question

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = 2x - 6

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

M is the slope.

B is the y-intercept.

We can visibly see that the y-intercept is -6.

To find the slope, we can take two points off of this graph, say (0,-6) and (3,0).

We then plug them in to the formula of
`(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

`(0-(-6))/(3-0)`

6 / 3

2 is the slope.

The complete form is y = 2x - 6.

Answer 2

y=2x-6
