Question

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept

form.
(Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the
equation.)

Answer 1

• y = 3x + 5

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

• y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

Take two points from the graph:

• (-2, -1) and (0, 5)

Find the slope:

• m = (5 - (-1))/(0 - (-2)) = 6/2 = 3

The y-intercept is b = 5

The line is:

• y = 3x + 5
