Write an equation of the graph (shown below) in slope intercept form.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay! so first, let's specify the components of a slope intercept form equation.
We got y=mx+b as a general formula, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.
The graph gives us two points on the line at (0, 5) and (-6, 7)
To find slope, we can use this slope equation. I suggest you memorize it-it helps a lot with future problems!
Plugging in the points into the equation, we get 2/-6, or -1/3
we really don't need to do much work anymore, since the choices are given. There is only one choice left with -1/3 as slope m, which is D.
The y intercept can be found at wherever the line intersects the y axis. In this line, it crosses 5, which means b=5.
y=mx+b
y=-1/3x+5

<h2>Steps:</h2>
So for this, we will be completing the square to solve for m. Firstly, subtract 8 on both sides:
Next, divide both sides by 2:
Next, we want to make the left side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this perfect square, divide the m coefficient by 2, then square the quotient. In this case:
-8 ÷ 2 = -4, (-4)² = 16
Add 16 to both sides of the equation:
Next, factor the left side:
Next, square root both sides of the equation:
Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation:
Now, while this is your answer, you can further simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals:
- Product rule of radicals: √ab = √a × √b
√12 = √4 × √3 = 2√3.
