Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you provided shows a problem asking for the slope and y-intercept of the line on the graph, followed by writing the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
Here’s the solution outlined in the image:
-
Slope (m): The slope is given as 2. This is the rate of change of the line, meaning for every unit increase in , increases by 2.
-
Y-intercept (b): The y-intercept is given as the point , meaning the line crosses the y-axis at .
-
Equation of the line: Using the slope-intercept form , where is the slope and is the y-intercept, the equation of the line is: This equation means that as increases, increases according to the slope of 2, and the line crosses the y-axis at .
Would you like more detailed steps or any further explanation on any part?
Here are five related questions to expand on this concept:
- What is the general formula for finding the slope between two points on a line?
- How do you identify the slope of a horizontal or vertical line from its graph?
- Can you rewrite the equation in standard form?
- How would the graph change if the slope were negative?
- If the y-intercept were instead of , how would the equation change?
Tip: In slope-intercept form , always remember that is the slope and is the y-intercept. This form makes it easy to graph the equation.
