Question

Please help...Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function

Answer 1

y = 6x - 4

Explanation:

Slope formula: y = mx + b

m = slope, found by figuring out the change in y over the change in x. A fancy way to say find the simplest rate of how far up it goes over how far right it goes. In this case, the line goes up 6 for every time it goes right one; 6/1. This can be simplified as 6.

b = y-intercept, meaning where the line crosses the y line. In this line, you can see that it crosses at -4.

Hope this helps!
