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

OpenStudy (anonymous):
The line is hitting the y axis at -1
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
yeah
pooja195 (pooja195):
Well done :-)

Thats all it only wants you to find the y intrcept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait thats it!

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

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

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 ?!

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
