Question

Write an equation of a line with the slope of 1 and y-intercept of 4

Answer 1

Answer (assuming it can be in slope-intercept form):

y = x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given information, we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Use the slope-intercept formula, $y = mx + b$, and substitute values for $m$ and $b$.

The $m$, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope, so substitute 1 in its place. The $b$ represents the y-intercept, so substitute 4 in its place. This gives the following answer:

$y = x + 4$

(Remember that the coefficient of the x-term, 1, is still there. However, instead of $1x$, we can just write it as $x$.)
