Answer: 3 . y = -1/3 + 4/3 4. y= 1/2x -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3. In the first graph they have the coordinates, (-2,2) and (4,0). We have to solve for the slope and the y-intercept in other to write and equation.
To find the slope we have to find the change in the y values and divide it by the difference in the x values.
2-0 = 2
-2 -4 = -6
2/-6 = -1/3 Now we know that the slope is -1/3 so we need to find the y-intercept.
2= -1/3(-2) +b where be is the y intercept.
2= 2/3 + b
-2/3 -2/3
b= 4/3
Now we could write the equation as y= -1/3 + 4/3
4. The same with number 4.
We will find the slope and the y intercept by using some points on the number line.
(0,-6) This already have the y-intercept graphed so we will need to just find the slope.
(0,-6)
(4,-4)
-6 - (-4) = -2
0 - 4 = -4
-2/-4 = 1/2
Equation: y = 1/2x -6
