Question

What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the line crosses the y axis at 0,0 the intercept is +0 or just nothing.

now all we need to do is find the slope

to do that just go from the y intercept (the first point) y units up and x units over untill u cross at the next point. for examples from (0, 0) to (1, 8)-the next point- i need to go up 8 units up and 1 unit over. this is described as rise over run and that is your slope 8/1 rise/run. rise is how many units i go up (or down) from the y intercept until the next point that lies on the line and run is how far i need to go over from how many units i just went up. If u continue to go 8 up and 1 over from each point u will see that u get a point lying of the line. This is why 8/1 is your slope

8/1 is the slope and 0,0 is your y intercept so we put nothing

the equation is y=8x

Answer 2

Answer:

y=8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points (0,0) (2,16)

Then 16-0/2-0= 8

8 is the slope

The y intercept is 0 so

y=8x
