Math Problem Statement

Solution

To find the values of mm (the slope) and bb (the y-intercept) for the given line, we need to analyze the graph.

  1. Finding the slope mm:

    • The slope mm is determined by the ratio of the change in yy to the change in xx between any two points on the line.
    • From the graph, two points on the line are clearly (0, 0) and (10, 10).

    m=ΔyΔx=100100=1010=1m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{10 - 0}{10 - 0} = \frac{10}{10} = 1

  2. Finding the y-intercept bb:

    • The y-intercept bb is the value of yy when x=0x = 0.
    • From the graph, it is clear that the line passes through the origin (0, 0), so b=0b = 0.

Thus, the values are: m=1m = 1 b=0b = 0

Here are five questions you might consider asking next:

  1. How do you determine the equation of a line given two points?
  2. What is the significance of the slope in the context of a graph?
  3. How can you find the x-intercept of a line?
  4. What are parallel and perpendicular lines and how do their slopes relate?
  5. How do you convert the standard form of a line's equation to slope-intercept form?

Tip: When working with graphs, always ensure you accurately read the coordinates of the points to correctly determine the slope and intercepts.
