Math Problem Statement
Write the equation of the line in the form . y= mx + c
Write the equation of the line in the form y = mx + c
Solution
To find the equation of each line in the form , where is the slope and is the y-intercept, we need to analyze the lines one by one.
9) First Graph
- Slope (m): The line rises by 1 unit for every 2 units it moves to the right, so the slope .
- Y-intercept (c): The line crosses the y-axis at .
Equation: .
10) Second Graph
- Slope (m): The line rises by 1 unit for every 1 unit it moves to the right, so the slope .
- Y-intercept (c): The line crosses the y-axis at .
Equation: .
11) Third Graph
- Slope (m): The line falls by 1 unit for every 1 unit it moves to the right, so the slope .
- Y-intercept (c): The line crosses the y-axis at .
Equation: .
12) Fourth Graph
- Slope (m): The line falls by 1 unit for every 2 units it moves to the right, so the slope .
- Y-intercept (c): The line crosses the y-axis at .
Equation: .

Here are 5 related questions you could explore:
- How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points on the line?
- How does changing the slope affect the steepness of a line?
- What does the y-intercept represent in a real-world context?
- How would you graph a line given its equation in slope-intercept form?
- How do parallel and perpendicular lines relate to each other in terms of slope?
Tip: The slope tells you how much the line rises (or falls) for every unit of horizontal movement. Always check the y-intercept to ensure you're placing the line correctly on the graph.
