Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope from

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

= (9-3)/(6-5)

= 6/1

To find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is its slope and b is its y-intercept), we naturally need the slope and the y-intercept. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4) so our y-intercept is 4, and the line rises 4 along the y-axis for every 2 it runs along the x-axis, so its slope is 4/2 = 2. With this in mind, we can write the line's equation as

y = 2x + 4

Write equation of the line below

vodka [1.7K]

Hi there!

We are given two ordered pairs which are:

(0,0)
(5,4)

If you are curious how do I get these ordered pairs, they come from those two big circles or dots. x and y make relation and can be written as (x,y).

1. Find the slope

Yes, our first step is to find the slope of a graph if you want to find an equation. You may be curious how to find that right? No worries! We have got a special formula for you to find the slope!

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

Since we have two given points, we can substitute them in the formula.

$\large{m = \frac{4 - 0}{5 - 0} } \\ \large \boxed{m = \frac{4}{5} }$

2. Form an equation.

Since we have finally found, got or evaluated the slope. Next step is to find the y-intercept. Oh! Before we get to form an equation, do you know the slope-intercept form? We will be using that linear equation form since it is commonly used in the topic.

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We substitute m = 4/5.

$\large{y = \frac{4}{5} x + b}$

Next thing to remember is that when the graph intersects an origin point, b-term or y-intercept would be 0. Therefore b = 0 since the graph intersects (0,0).

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{4}{5} x}$

3. Answer

Therefore the equation of the line is y = 4x/5.
