Find the equation of the line with x-intercept 4 and y-intercept -1 in slope-intercept form.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept, so we can already conclude that b=-1.
This results in y = mx - 1
We also have the x-intercept, and we know that the y-coordinate of an x-intercept is always 0. This means that we have the point (4,0). Substitute this into the formula to generate m:
0 = 4m - 1
4m = 1
m = 1/4
thus y = x - 1

Table is attached with values, but answers are:
(0, 0) (1, 3) (2, 6) (3, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x
Substitute all values.
y = 3(0)
y = 0
0, 0
y = 3(1)
y = 3
1, 3
y = 3(2)
y = 6
2, 6
y = 3(3)
y = 9
3, 9
