the left side is x axis and right is the y axis
hartnn (hartnn):
so use the slope intercept form
\(\large y =mx+c\)
you found out m = slope
you just need c
hartnn (hartnn):
plug in any one point from the 3 given
say
x=2, y=10
in that equation :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is c exactly? and how do i find it?

hartnn (hartnn):
c is the y-intercept of the line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so then my equation is 10 = (3)2 + c then i try to bring c to one side?
hartnn (hartnn):
plug everything you know in
y = mx+c
x=2, y=10
m = you already found out
the only unknown is c :)
hartnn (hartnn):
and yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so 10 = (3)2 + c
10 = 6 + c
-6 -6
4 = c so y intercept is 4
