Follow the steps and write the equation represented by this graph.
Step 1: Write the general equation.
Step 2: Identify b, the Y intercept (x = 0) b=
Step 3: The second point from graph (x, y) P=
,
Step 4: Define m as ratio of rise / run m = rise /
Step 5: Put coordinates into ratio and get (7 -
) / (
- 0)
Step 6: Perform subtraction; get slope
/ 1
Step 7: Substitute values into y = mx + b
Step 8: Write answer y =
x +
