Question

PLEASE HELP!! Write the equation of the graph.

Answer 1

When you first look at thius graph, you should notice two things immedietly.

1. This graph will have a positive slope, because the line is going up.

2. the y-intercept is -2 because that's where it is on the y-axis.

Now, you have been given two points, (2, 1) and (0, -2). You can put these two points into the slope formula, which is: m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$ $\frac{(-2) - 1}{0 - 2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ = 3/2.

So, now you have your slope and your y-intercept. Now, just put them into    y = mx + b form!

y = 3/2x - 2 (it is ubtracting two instead of adding two because it is a negative two.)

Hope this helps!!
