What is the y-intercept of the line shown?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

−1 0 0.5 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ those are the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pooja195

pooja195 (pooja195):

where is the line hitting the y axis? What number? That will be known as out y intercept

pooja195 (pooja195):

*our

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The line is hitting the y axis at -1

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yeah

pooja195 (pooja195):

Well done :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats next ?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Thats all it only wants you to find the y intrcept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait thats it!

LAST ONE!!! Question: A line passes through (2, 8) and (4, 12). Which equation best represents the line? Answer options: y = 1 over 2 x + 6 y = 2x + 7 y = 2x + 4 y = 1 over 2 x + 10

pooja195 (pooja195):

First find the slope using the slope formula \[\huge\bf~ \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pooja195 (pooja195):

12-8=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12-8=4

pooja195 (pooja195):

4-2=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good 4/2= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's next ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Btw what time is it where u are @pooja195

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok now we use the point slope formula \[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] where m=slope (x1,y1)= (2,8) \[\huge y-8=2(x-2)\] Ok now isolate y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoa whoa what ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry i feel rlly dumb....... Im the worst at math

pooja195 (pooja195):

It's alright no worries we are all here to learn I took the info we have the slope which was 2 and plugged it into the point slope formula which can be used to find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So im gonna rule out a and d

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good Ok now we use the point slope formula \[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] where m=slope (x1,y1)= (2,8) \[\huge y-8=2(x-2)\] Ok now isolate y Use the distributive property |dw:1452830207941:dw|
