Question

Write an equation that represents the line. Use exact numbers

Answer 1

The equation that represents the line is:

$y = \frac{5}{6}x+\frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to observe the graph to find the points on line

So the points on line are:

(x1,y1) = (4,6)

(x2,y2) = (-2,1)

First of all we have to find the slope

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{1-6}{-2-4}\\=\frac{-5}{-6}\\=\frac{5}{6}$

Equation of line is given by:

$y=mx+b$

Putting the value of slope

$y = \frac{5}{6}x +b$

Putting (4,6) in the equation

$6 = \frac{5}{6}(4)+b\\6 = \frac{20}{6} +b\\b = 6 - \frac[20}{6}\\b = \frac{36-20}{6}\\b = \frac{16}{6}\\b = \frac{8}{3}$

Putting the value of b

$y = \frac{5}{6}x+\frac{8}{3}$

Hence,

The equation that represents the line is:

$y = \frac{5}{6}x+\frac{8}{3}$
