Transcript text: of the line shown on the graph in slope 5.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify two points on the line
From the graph, we can identify two points on the line. Let's choose the points (0, -2) and (2, 2).
Step 2: Calculate the slope
The slope \( m \) of a line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by:
\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
Substituting the points (0, -2) and (2, 2):
\[ m = \frac{2 - (-2)}{2 - 0} = \frac{2 + 2}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \]
Step 3: Write the equation in slope-intercept form
The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:
\[ y = mx + b \]
We already have the slope \( m = 2 \). To find the y-intercept \( b \), we use one of the points, say (0, -2):
\[ y = 2x + b \]
\[ -2 = 2(0) + b \]
\[ b = -2 \]
Final Answer
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
\[ y = 2x - 2 \]
