Question

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function. Write the slope in decimal form.

Answer 1

Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept, aka where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0

we can find the y axis by looking
it crosses the y axis at 4 units up
so
b=4
y=mx+4
we also se another point
(-5,0)
when x=-5, y=0
0=m(-5)+4
solve for m
0=m(-5)+4
subtract 4
-4=m(-5)
divide both sides by -5
-4/-5=4/5=m



equaiton is
y=4/5x+4
y=0.8x+4
