Question

What is the equation of the line in the slope intercept form

Answer 1

Equation of line; y = - 6x

Explanation:

As we can see from this graph, point ( 0, 0 ) lying on this graph intersects the y - axis such that it forms a y - intercept of 0;

At the same time we can note that the change in y / change in x, in other words the slope, differs by a rise of 6 / run of - 1, 6 / - 1 being a slope of - 6;

If this equation is in slope - intercept form ⇒

y = a * x + b, where a ⇒ slope, and b ⇒ y - intercept,

Equation of line; y = - 6x

Answer 2

y = -6x

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

the y intercept is 0 since it crosses the y axis at 0

To find the slope we need to points (0,0) and (10,-60)

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

= (-60-0)/(10-0)

= -60/10

= -6

The equation for the line is

y = -6x +0

y = -6x
