Question

PPLSS HELLP!! y=___x+___

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 1x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

This grpah shows a linear equation, for which the formula is y=mx+b. M is the slope, and b is the y-intercept, which means the point on the y-axis when x is zero.

So far= y=_x-5

Now to find the slope, you can take 2 points and use the slope formula, which is $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

I used the points (1,-4) and (0, -5)

(1,-4)

$x_{2} , y_{2}$

(0,-5)

$x_{1} ,y_{1}$

Plug into formula

$\frac{-4-(-5)}{1-0}$

negative minus negative becomes a positive

$\frac{-4+5}{1}$

$\frac{1}{1}$

The slope is 1, so the equation of the graph is

y= 1x-5
