Which equation is shown on the graph? A. y = 2x + 2 B. y = x + 2 C. y = x – 2 D. y = 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So where does the the graph intercept the y-axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

opps y is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah so you already know your answer will have +2 in it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a or b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you want me to give you the answer, or help you solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I want you to help me solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to find the slope. If you have a hard time doing that use the formula: \[\left( y-y1 \right)\div(x-x1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually that's wrong... it should be \[(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\] Sorry 'bout that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.... Another way to figure this out is to plug in the "x" values. if you were to plug in 2(1) +2, you would get four. But on the graph, when "x" is one you would get 3! in this case the answer is y=x+2. To check this: y= (1)+2. You would get 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh ok I get it now thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.
