Question

What is the equation of this line?

y = 2x

y=12x

y=−2x

y=−12x

Answer 1

Y=2X

Looking at the line you can see that it is moving up from left to right, making it positive. So -2X and -12X are incorrect.

Next we can find the slope by putting rise over run. Chose a point on the line, I’ll use (2,4).
On this point we rise to 4 and run over to 2.
So for rise over run we have 4/2 which is 2.
So y=2x is correct.
