Question

What is the slope intercept form of the equation of the line shown below

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4/3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

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

    = ( 0 -  -4)/( 3 - 0)

   = (0+4)/( 3-0)

   = 4/3

The y intercept is -4

The slope intercept form of the equation is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4/3x -4

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

The slope-intercept form formula is: $y=mx+b$

The $m$ stands for the slope and the $b$ stands for the y-intercept.

By looking at the graph, I can figure out that the y-intercept is -4 because y-intercept is where the lines cross the y-axis and in this graph, the line crosses the y-axis at (0,-4).

The slope is $\frac{4}{3}$ because to get to the ordered pair (3,0), from (0,-4), you would have to go up 4 and over 3 to the right so it's $\frac{4}{3}$

So now, if we insert the values in the formula, it would be $y=\frac{4}{3}x-4$
