Question

Find the equation of the line.
Use exact numbers.
y=

Answer 1

y = 2x+4

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope using two points

(-2,0) and (0,4)

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

m = (4-0)/(0--2)

= 4/+2

= 2

we have the y intercept which is 4

Using the slope intercept form of the line

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

y = 2x+4
