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
- y-intercept
The general form of a linear equation is: Where:
- is the slope
- is the y-intercept (the value of when )
From the problem:
So, substituting these values into the formula:
The equation of the line is:
This matches the format requested by the problem.
Would you like any further details or explanations? Here are some related questions:
- How can you find the slope of a line from two points?
- What is the difference between slope-intercept form and point-slope form?
- How do you graph a linear equation using slope and y-intercept?
- How can you convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?
- 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!
