What is the equation for the line?

Enter your answer in the box.

the graph is below

Answer 1

The equation of a line is y = mx + b [m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 ----> (0, y) or the point where the line goes through the y-axis]

To find the slope, you use the slope formula (m):

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` and plug in 2 points

I will use the points (0, 0) and (1, 8)

(0, 0) ----> (x₁, y₁)

(1, 8) ----> (x₂, y₂)

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(8-0)/(1-0)`

m = 8

Since you know m, plug it into the equation.

y = 8x + b

The graph shows that the y-intercept is 0, so plug it into the equation

y = 8x
