Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
mx = slope
b = y-intercept
We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.
To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.
We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.
Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.
1 - 0 / 3 - 1
1 / 2
The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.
The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:
y = 0.5x
Given:
A table of values of a linear function.
To find:
The slope, y-intercept and equation of the function.
Solution:
Take any two points on the table.
Let the points are (-1, -3) and (0, -6).
Slope of the line:
m = -3
Slope of the function = -3
y-intercept of the function is the point where x = 0.
In the table y = -6 when x = 0
y-intercept = -6
Equation of a line:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
y = -3x + (-6)
y = -3x - 6
Equation of a function is y = -3x - 6.
