Answer:

Slope = 4.000/2.000 = 2.000

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   y-2x+7  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  y-2x+7  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is -7/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-7.00000

 y-intercept = -7/1  = -7.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 7/2 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 3.50000

 x-intercept = 7/2  =  3.50000

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -7.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -3.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -3.000 - (-7.000) = 4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  4.000/2.000 =  2.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = 4.000/2.000 = 2.000

Answer:m=2

All lines that are parallel to y=2x+7

have the same slope of 2

.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (4, 6) and (-2, -1)?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

y = 7/6x + 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

find slope first

change in y over the change in x

-1-6/-2-4 = -7/-6 = 7/6

to be extra sure use this formula to find the y-intercept or b

y - 6 = 7/6 (x -4)

you can plug in either point

solve for y and you have the equation in slope intercept form or y=mx+b
