Answer:

Part 11a) The slope of the line is
m=2

Part 11b) The equation of the line is
y=2x-3

Part 11c) The value of a is 7 and the value of b is 7

Part 11d) The y-coordinate is -1

Explanation:

Part 11a) Find the slope of the line

we know that

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to


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

take two points from the graph

(3,3) and (8,13)

substitute


m=(13-3)/(8-3)


m=(10)/(5)


m=2

Part 11b) Write the equation for the line

step 1

Find the equation of the line in point slope form


y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have


m=2


point\ (3,3)

substitute


y-3=2(x-3)

step 2

Convert to slope intercept form


y=mx+b

isolate the variable y


y-3=2(x-3)\\y-3=2x-6\\y=2x-6+3\\y=2x-3

Part 11c) Find the values for a and b

step 1

Find the value of a

we have the ordered pair (5,a)

so

x=5, y=a

substitute the value of x in the linear equation and solve for y


y=2(5)-3=7

so

The value of a is 7

step 2

Find the value of b

we have the ordered pair (b,11)

so

x=b, y=11

substitute the value of y in the linear equation and solve for x


11=2x-3\\2x=11+3\\2x=14\\x=7

so

The value of b is 7

Part 11d) What is the y-coordinate when the x-coordinate is 1?

For x=1

substitute in the linear equation


y=2(1)-3\\y=-1

therefore

The y-coordinate is -1
