Question

What equation can be written for this graph?
Pls help!!!

Answer 1

y = 25x

Explanation:

This is a straight line, so the formula is:

y = ax + b

a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope formula:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Select two random points from the line:

1. Point 1: x=2 and y=50
2. Point 2: x=4 and y=100

Slope a = (100 - 50)/(4 - 2) = 50/2 = 25

=> y = 25x + b

Use one of the points to find b:

50 = 25*2 + b

=> b= 0

So the equation is y=25x
