Answer (<u>assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:
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, , and substitute values for
and
.
The , or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope, so substitute 1 in its place. The
represents the y-intercept, so substitute 4 in its place. This gives the following answer:
(Remember that the coefficient of the x-term, 1, is still there. However, instead of , we can just write it as
.)
Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of
So, the equation we want to solve is
Subtract 3x from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
