Question

Need help asap !!! Write an equation of the line below.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -1/3x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the line has two points marked on it.

  (x1, y1) = (-6, 6) . . . . . left point

  (x2, y2) = (0, 4) . . . . right point, and y-intercept

The slope of the line is the ratio of the differences:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (4 -6)/(0 -(-6)) = -2/6 = -1/3

The y-intercept is the y-value where the line crosses the y-axis. Here, that y-value is 4.

In the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line, the slope is called m, and the y-intercept is called b. For this line, we have m=-1/3, b=4.

The equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = -1/3x +4 . . . . . the equation you're looking for

Answer 2

Answer: y intercept =  y=-1/3x+4, point-slope = (y-6)=-1/3(x+6)
