Question

Determine the equation of the line given by the graph.

Answer 1

Answer:

We can tell by the graph that it has a positive slope. The

y-intercept is at positive 4. Trying to find the next whole number intercept point will be at (-2,0). Count up and over from that point to the y-intercept point, and put it in rise over run form... 5/2 (up 5, over 2). Now apply these known variables into the slope intercept form: y = mx + b.

The final answer is: y = (5/2)x + 5

M is the slope and B is the y-intercept.
