Question

The points (4, 9) and (0, 0) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 4/9x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation, we first need to find the slope. We can do this by using the slope equation with the points.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (9 - 0)/(4 - 0)

m = 9/4

Now that we have this, we can use point-slope form along with one of the points to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 0 = 4/9(x - 0)

y = 4/9x
