Math Problem Statement

Work out the equation of the line shown below in the form y = mx + c, where m and c are integers or fractions in their simplest form.

Solution

To find the equation of the line from the graph, we need to identify two things: the slope (m) and the y-intercept (c).

Step 1: Find the slope (m)

The slope of the line is calculated as the "rise" over the "run", which means the change in y over the change in x between two points on the line. We need to pick two points on the line, for example:

  • The point where the line crosses the y-axis (the y-intercept), and
  • A second point where the line clearly intersects the grid.

Step 2: Find the y-intercept (c)

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (when x = 0).

Step 3: Write the equation

Once you have the values of the slope (m) and the y-intercept (c), you can write the equation of the line in the form:

y=mx+cy = mx + c

Let me help you calculate this after analyzing the graph. I'll start by checking the graph. PIL import Image

Could you please confirm if you can identify specific points from the graph or if you'd like me to proceed with calculations based on the visible features?
