Math Problem Statement

Which is an equation of 4 the line with a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -3?

Which is an equation of the line with a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -3?

Solution

To find the equation of the line with a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -3, we can use the slope-intercept form of a line equation:

y=mx+by = mx + b

where:

  • mm is the slope, and
  • bb is the y-intercept.

Given:

  • Slope m=4m = 4,
  • Y-intercept b=3b = -3,

The equation of the line is:

y=4x3y = 4x - 3

Looking at the options in the image, the correct equation is:

y=4x3\boxed{y = 4x - 3}

Here are five related questions to expand understanding:

  1. What is the general formula for the slope-intercept form of a line?
  2. How do you calculate the slope if given two points on a line?
  3. What happens to the graph of a line when the slope increases or decreases?
  4. How can you determine the y-intercept from a graph?
  5. How would the equation change if the y-intercept were positive instead of negative?

Tip: Always match the slope and y-intercept to the correct components in the equation to quickly identify the correct form.
