Enter your answer in slope-intercept

Answer 1

Use the two given points to find the slope
slope=\(\huge\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 2

2 points on the line are given. Please find the slope of the line from them. Your slope will be approx. equal to -1. Find the exact slope.

Answer 3

how

Answer 4

y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept, which is where the line intersects the y-axis

Answer 5

I gave the slope formula above. Use that to find the slope @xgamer7868

Answer 6

Now write out the general slope-intercept formula for the graph of a straight line:

y=mx+b. Substitute your slope value (m) into this equation. Next, choose one (not both) of the given points, and substitute its x-and y-coordinates into this same equation.

this will enable you to find the value of b, the y-intercept. Pls show all your work.

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

@mathmale they give the y-intercept, so @xgamer7868 doesn't need to solve for it

Answer 9

im confused

Answer 10

You have two points (0,7) and (8,.2) right? plug those into the given slope formula

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

I agree: the y-intercept is given and is (0,7) Find the slope, then write the equation in slope-intercept form, with b=7.

Answer 13

so i change the numbers 1 and 2 to the points like y7 - y1 like that?
x-2 - x8

Answer 14

No with two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\)

Answer 15

So 0 = x1, 7=y1, and so forth

Answer 16

ohhh btw i meant 0 where i put 1

Answer 17

Two points (0,7) and (8,-2). Plug into slope formula:
\(\Large\frac{-2-7}{8-0}\)

Answer 18

but i need the equation of the graphed line tho

Answer 19

I know. y = mx + b is the equation
m = slope, so you need to find it
b = 7

Answer 20

i gtg soon hurry
