Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
lets pick 2 points on the line....(6,5) and (10,3)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(6,5)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 5
(10,3)....x2 = 10 and y2 = 3
now we sub
slope = (3 - 5) / (10 - 6) = -2/4 = -1/2
now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/2
u can use either of ur points...I will use (6,5)...x = 6 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -1/2(6) + b
5 = -3 + b
5 + 3 = b
8 = b
so ur equation is : y = -1/2x + 8 <===
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and b is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named as the "slope-intercept form".The coordinates of every point on the line will solve the equation if you substitute them in the equation for x and y.
The slope m of this line shows its steepness, or slant - It can be calculated like this:
m = change in y-value /change in x-value
The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b ....
