Math Problem Statement
Solution
To write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, we need to determine the slope () and the y-intercept ().
-
Slope: Slope is calculated as the change in divided by the change in . From the graph, the line passes through two clear points: (0, 0) and (5, 6).
- The change in (rise) is .
- The change in (run) is .
- Therefore, the slope .
-
Y-intercept: From the graph, the y-intercept is clearly 0 since the line passes through the origin (0, 0).
So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form () is:
Thus, the correct answer is the second option: .
