Question

For the function whose graph is shown below, which is the correct formula for the function?

Answer 1

first find the slope of the line : - rise/run m
then find the y intercept b

the equation will be y = mx + b

Answer 2

at what value of y does the line cross the y-axis? ( that the y intercept)

Answer 3

It crosses at 1, right?

Answer 4

Oops, wrong graph hang on

Answer 5

Does it cross at -2?

Answer 6

yes it crosses the y-axis at -2
(it crosses the x-axis at 1)

Answer 7

so b = -2

Answer 8

Alright..Okay, I understand that part.

Answer 9

now the slope of the line is positive ( it goes like /)

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

If you take the point (3,-4) and count up the squares until you get to the graph then count from (3.-4) to the left until the graplhyou'll get the slope
