Question

Find the equation of the line shown. Please help!!!!!!!

Answer 1

y = 2x + 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(5-3)/(1-0)` = 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 2x + 3 ← equation of line

Answer 2

y=2x+3

Explanation:

the gradient is 2 and the y intercept is 3
