Look at the pictures.

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope \to m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

b - y-intercept

(1)

x-intercept = 4

y-intercept = 4 → b = 4

We have the points (0, 4) and (4, 0). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{0-4}{4-0}=\dfrac{-4}{4}=-1

Slope = -1

Equation: y = -x + 4

(2)

x-intercept = 6

y-intercept = -4 → b = -4

We have the points (0, 6) and (-6, 0). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{0-6}{-6-0}=\dfrac{-6}{-6}=1

Slope = 1

Equation: y = x - 4

(3)

x-intercept = 5

y-intercept = -3 → b = -3

We have the points (5, 0) and (0, -3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-3-0}{0-5}=\dfrac{-3}{-5}=\dfrac{3}{5}

Slope = \dfrac{3}{5}

Equation: y=\dfrac{3}{5}x-3

First, take a look at the vertical axis.  Its. equation is x=0.  count the number of scale divisions from the origin to the point where the line crosses the vertical axis.  It's 4.  Thus, the vertical intercept is (0,4).

Next, determine the x value where the line crosses the horizontal axis.  It's 4, and so the horiz. intercept is (4,0).

Going from (0,4) to (4,0), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 4.  Thus, the slope of the given line is m = rise / run = -4/4 = -1.

Starting with y = mx + b, substitute the knowns:  

b, the y-intercept, is 4.  m, the slope, is -1.  Thus, the equation of this line in slope-intercept form is y = -x + 4.

Do all graphs of proportional relationships include the point (0, 0)? Explain.

No. For example, if I gave you the equation y= 3x+5, the y-intercept will be at (0,5), eliminating the (0,0).

What is the factored form of y = x² - 12x + 36
djverab [1.8K]
Answer: y = (x - 6)^2

work:

y = x^2 - 12x + 36

y = (x - 6) (x - 6)

y = (x - 6)^2
