Question

What is the equation of the graphed line?

Hint: Determine the slope of the line.

y= ? x

Answer 1

Well, the y intercept is 0, so b = 0

y = mx + b
y = mx + 0
y = mx

Now we need to find the slope, m

What do you think the slope is?

Answer 2

2 I think

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of \(\dfrac{rise}{run}\) ??

Answer 4

how?

Answer 5

rise over run

Answer 6

rise over run

Answer 7

It is always so difficult to explain how to find the slope of something, so I am suggesting taking a look at this site to help you http://coolmath.com/algebra/08-lines/05-finding-slope-line-from-graph-01.htm

Answer 8

rise above run

Answer 9

run under rise

Answer 10

down 5 square right 1 square

Answer 11

slope is a measure of teepness

Answer 12

so 5?

Answer 13

nope

Answer 14

almost

Answer 15

Hmm, the line is going down, so the slope will be negative, so -5

Answer 16

stop guessing

Answer 17

oh yah right -5

Answer 18

how ? prove that it is -5

Answer 19

m = slope
m = -5

plug it in

y = mx + b
y = mx + 0
y = mx
y = -5x
