find the equation of the line below if necessary use a ( / ) to indicate a division bar

OpenStudy (nightwing255):

OpenStudy (sooobored):

you can use the 2 points given in order to determine slope the line crosses the origin, so y-intercept is 0

OpenStudy (sooobored):

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (nightwing255):

@sooobored I actually worked out the problem myself I just wanted to see if the answers would be similar.

OpenStudy (518nad):

okay show me ur work / answer ill check for u

OpenStudy (nightwing255):

@518nad My answer is 3/1

OpenStudy (sooobored):

slope is correct, now put it in the form of an equation

OpenStudy (nightwing255):

@sooobored So it would be y=3/1+3

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Not quite....the slope is still correct however as stated above, the line crosses through the origin so your y-intercept should be 0 Hence, \(\large y = \frac{3}{1}x + ?\)

OpenStudy (nightwing255):

@johnweldon1993 So it should be y=3/1x?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Exactly!

@johnweldon1993 Thank you
