Question

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph?

Drag and drop the expressions to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

y = Response area + Response area

A function graph of a line with two points (-3,-2) and (-1,2) with an x axis of negative five to five and a y axis of negative five to five

Answer 1

Answer: First blank; -x

second; -2

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y = 2x + 4

Explanation:

You have the graph, so you can read the slope and y-intercept from it. The line goes up 2 units for each unit to the right, so the slope is ...

slope = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis, at y=4.

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

y = mx + b

where m is the slope (2) and b is the y-intercept (4). Your equation is ...

y = 2x +4
