What Is The Equation Of The Line In Slope Intercept Form Please Explain How You Did It Thank You class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

b is the y intercept ( crossing y axis value)....     by inspection   b = 5

m is the slope of the line, the slope equals the 'rise' over 'run'  

if the line moves up the slope is positive, if the line moves down the slope is negative

the rise is how many y units does the line go 'up' or 'down'

the run is how many x units does the line go 'left' or 'right'

By inspection the line moves up to the right, it rises ONE Y unit for every THREE X units (the run)   so m = rise/run    m = 1/3

so        Y = (1/3)X + 5      Answer
