Question

What would the equation be of the form y=mx​

Answer 1

y = 1.5x

Explanation:

y = mx

slope formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Points: (x1, y1) = (-2, -3)

(x2, y2) = (4, 6)

To find the equation in y = mx form, we need to find the value of m. m is also known as the slope. To find the value of m, input the given points into the slope formula:

`(6-(-3))/(4-(-2))`

Simplify:

6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9

4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6

`(9)/(6) =(3)/(2)=1.5`

The value of m is 1.5. Now we can write the equation:

y = 1.5x
