Question

Write and equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) for the graph below

Answer 1

y=1/3x+0 or y=1/3x

Explanation:

find the slope by taking two points and putting them in

y2 - y1/x2 - x1

so, (3,1) and (6,2) becomes 2-1/6-3 or 1/3 so, slope is 1/3

then to find y intercept you can put a point (6,2) and slope (1/3) into slope intercept form y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1/3(x-6)

when you solve this you get y = 1/3x + 0, so y intercept is 0. you can also see. this on the graph given
