Compare y = (1/5)x to
               y = mx + b.

What is the slope of the given line?  What is the y-intercept of the given line?

wolf1728 · Answer

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0
and the graph is attached.

mathmale · Answer

What does slope mean?  You'll start at the origin, (0,0), move 5 scale divisions to the right, and then 1 up, to obtain the point (5,1).  Draw a line connecting the origin (0,0) with this point (5, 1).  This line will have a slope of what value?

mathmale · Answer

Are  you taking notes on your work on OpenStudy?  Others and I have worked with you numerous times on graphing lines with given slopes.

Slope= (rise) / (run)

so if slope is (1/5), the rise is 1 and the run is 5.

Try graphing this.  Again:  Start at the y-intercept, which happens to be (0,0) in this problem.
