Math Problem Statement

Use function notation to write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept. Slope: 6, y-intercept: (0,7)

Solution

The problem in the image asks you to write the equation of a line in function notation, given the slope and y-intercept. Here is the information provided:

  • Slope m=6m = 6
  • y-intercept (0,7)(0, 7)

The general form of a linear equation is: f(x)=mx+bf(x) = mx + b Where:

  • mm is the slope
  • bb is the y-intercept (the value of yy when x=0x = 0)

From the problem:

  • m=6m = 6
  • b=7b = 7

So, substituting these values into the formula: f(x)=6x+7f(x) = 6x + 7

The equation of the line is: f(x)=6x+7f(x) = 6x + 7

This matches the format requested by the problem.

Would you like any further details or explanations? Here are some related questions:

  1. How can you find the slope of a line from two points?
  2. What is the difference between slope-intercept form and point-slope form?
  3. How do you graph a linear equation using slope and y-intercept?
  4. How can you convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?
  5. What does it mean when the slope of a line is zero or undefined?

Tip: When given a y-intercept, remember it’s the point where the line crosses the y-axis, so the x-coordinate will always be zero!
