Write the equation of the line represented by the following table.

OpenStudy (samsan9):

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

take two points \((x_0,y_0),(x_1,y_1)\) and get the slope \(m=\frac{y_1-y_0}{x_1-x_0}\) and tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (samsan9):

i got 100

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ok that is the slope. now we need the point \((0,b)\) what is \(b\)?

OpenStudy (samsan9):

do you mean 400 because it is the one in the graph?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yeah

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so the equation is \(y=mx+b\) and you know what m, and b are

OpenStudy (samsan9):

so it is the slope and the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (samsan9):

is it y=100x+400

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yes

OpenStudy (samsan9):

thanks theres a medal :D

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

hehe no prob. easy peasy, just find slope and intercept then use "slope intercept" form
