Math Problem Statement

Find the equation of the line with slope
3/5 and
y -intercept
( 0 , 4 )

Solution

The equation of a line can be expressed in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+by = mx + b

Where:

  • mm is the slope.
  • bb is the yy-intercept.

Given:

  • Slope m=35m = \frac{3}{5}
  • yy-intercept (0,4)(0, 4), so b=4b = 4.

Substitute these values into the slope-intercept form:

y=35x+4y = \frac{3}{5}x + 4

Final Answer:

The equation of the line is:

y=35x+4y = \frac{3}{5}x + 4

  3. How would the line's graph look on a coordinate plane?
  4. How does the slope of 35\frac{3}{5} influence the line's steepness?
  5. What is the equation of a line parallel to this line passing through (2,3)(2, 3)?

Tip: The slope (mm) represents how steep a line is; it measures the rise over run (Δy/Δx\Delta y / \Delta x).
