Question

Write an equation in Slope Intercept Form for the following line.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2x+-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation in slope intercept form (y = mx + b) is y = 2x - 4

m = the slope

b = the y intercept

The line cross the y-axis at -4 so the y-intercept (b) is -4.

You can use the slope formula $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ since you have plotted points (0, -4) and (2, 0) on the graph that you can plug in.

$\frac{0--4}{2-0}$ = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2

So the slope (m) is 2. Now you can make the slope-intercept form using these values. So, the equation for the line is y = 2x - 4
