None, not D. Note that it crosses point (0, 0) and (1, 2) So y-intercept is 0. Try to find slope.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

kayo

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Right, \(\rm slope = \dfrac{rise}{run}\)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

or think then a

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Not quite. Do you know how the rise over run formula works?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

on

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK you have to find a point on the graph where the line crosses. Let's look at the point (1, 2), do you see it?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

yes

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Now on the next point on the graph where the line crosses is (2, 4), you see it?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

yes i do

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK so now let's find the rise. The rise is the number of units (points) you move up or down, but in this case we are moving up. How many points do you have to move up to get equal height with the point (2,4)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

4 ithink

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Not quite, try again, looking at point (1, 2), how many points do you move up to get an even height with point (2, 4)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

2

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Right, so now we know that our rise = 2 Now for the run. No matter what, it is the points you move RIGHT after going up or down to get an even height with the next point. So after you move up two points were are on the point (1,4), right? So now how many points so we move to the right to meet up with the point (2,4)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay 3

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Try again

OpenStudy (bohotness):

ITHE N I GUESS 1 4 but i really think its 1

OpenStudy (bohotness):

@Luigi0210

OpenStudy (bohotness):

@sammixboo

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yes, so the run = 1 Now plug it into the equation \(\rm slope = \dfrac{rise}{run}\) to get slope = 2/1 = 2 So our slope is 2

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Now we have this formula we are going to use y = mx + b m = slope b = y-intercept We know our slope is 2, And saying up above our y-intercept is 0, let's plug in the info y = 2x + 0 Which equation is equal to that in your choices?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

i would say b

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Correct

OpenStudy (bohotness):

i would say b
