Question

How to write in simplified slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Pick tow points that is on the line; (1, 1) and (2, 5).

2. Find the Slope:  Slope = (change in the y-values)/(change in the x-values)

   Slope = (5 - 1)/(2 - 1) = 4/1 = 4

3. Use the slope and one point on the graph and substitute into y = mx + b

    and solve for "b"

          y = mx + b                           Slope = 4  point (1, 1)

           1 = 4(1) + b

            1 = 4 + b

           1 - 4 = b

            -3 = b

4. Write the equation of the line: m = 4 and b = -3

     y = 4x - 3
