The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2). What is the slope of this line?
-2 | |
-1 | |
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
3 |
The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 8). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3 | |
y = -2x - 2 | |
y = 3x - 2 | |
y = 3x + 3 |
The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 8) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(8.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
