To find an equation of a line, you have to know the value of slope first. We can find the value of slope by using the formula below:

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

We are given two coordinate points. Substitute the points in the formula.

\large{m =  \frac{7 - 5}{3 - 0} } \\  \large{m =  \frac{2}{3} }

Therefore the slope is 2/3.

Next we find the y-intercept. In the form of y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We have got slope, except the y-intercept. We can find the y-intercept by substituting one of gjven points in the equation of y = mx+b.

Since we know the slope - we can rewrite the equation like below:

\large{y =  \frac{2}{3} x + b}

Then choose one of two points to substitute. I will choose (0,5). Therefore substitute x = 0 and y = 5.

\large{5 =  \frac{2}{3} (0) + b} \\  \large{5 = 0 + b} \\  \large{b = 5}

Thus the y-intercept is (0,5). Note that if the question gives you (0,a) point. That is the y-intercept of graph. So b = a if given (0,a).

Rewrite the equation by substituting the b-value.

\large{y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 5}

Hence, the equation of a line that contains those points is y = 2x/3 + 5

Answer

  • y = 2x/3 + 5

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any doubts.

9. Let x equal the number

Two less than a number is

x - 2

Is more than 15 is

> 15

Put them together for

x-2 > 15

Now solve

x-2 > 15
x > 17

10. Let x equal a number

Seven more than a number is

x+ 7

Is less than or equal to 27 is

<= 27

Put them together for

x + 7 <= 27

Now solve

x+ 7 <= 27
x <= 20

What is the y-intercept of the line described by the equation below? <br> Y=6x+8
Ahat [919]

y = mx + b

The b is always the y-intercept, so that means

y = mx + b

y = 6x + 8

The answer is C. (0, 8)!

Write the equation of a line that is
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Y= 3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel , the slope is same i.e. 3 .

now the equation should be y= Mx + b where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

plugging the value of m=3 and ( 3,2) into the equation

2= 3(3) + c

2= 9+ c

c= -7

hence the equation of the line is y=3x-7
