Math Problem Statement
Solution
The task in your image is asking to find the equation of the line displayed on the graph. Based on the grid shown in the image, I can help guide you through the process to determine the correct equation of the line. Here's a general approach:
Step 1: Identify two points on the line.
From the graph:
- One point appears to be (where the line crosses the y-axis).
- Another point seems to be (where the line crosses the x-axis).
Step 2: Calculate the slope.
The slope of a line is given by the formula:
Using the points and :
Now calculate the slope:
So, the slope is .
Step 3: Use the slope-intercept form of the equation.
The slope-intercept form is:
You already know the slope and the y-intercept (from the point ).
Thus, the equation of the line is:
This is the equation of the line on the graph.
Would you like more details or further clarification?
Here are five related questions you might explore:
- How can we determine the equation if the line doesn't cross the y-axis?
- What is the point-slope form of the equation of a line?
- How do you convert between slope-intercept form and standard form?
- What happens if the line is vertical or horizontal? How do their equations differ?
- How can you find the equation of a line given its slope and one point?
Tip: Always start by finding two clear points on the line, as these will help you accurately determine the slope and y-intercept!
