Question

A function f(x) is graphed.
What is the slope of the function?
ma
What is the y-intercept of the function?
b.
Which equatich represents the graph of the function?

Answer 1

The slope is 2. The y-intercept is 1. The equation is y=2x +1

Answer 2

Answer:

slope:1/2

y intercept:-1/2

equation of the line: y=1/2x-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

choose two points from the line( I chose (3,1) and (-1,-1)) and then using y1-y2/x1-x2, do 1 - -1/3 - -1 which is 2/4 simplified to 1/2. the slope is 1/2.

now to find the y intercept, you just have to plug in the numbers from one of the sets of points you chose and your slope using y = mx +b(I will be using the point (-1,-1)). equational look like this: -1=1/2•-1+b

since b is the y intercept, solve for b and you get b= -1/2.

so nowsince you know the slope and the y intercept you just plug it in to the equation

y = mx + b and you get y=1/2x-1/2.
