SOLUTION: Graph f(x)=(1/5)x+1

Question 243183: Graph f(x)=(1/5)x+1
Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=(1/5)x+1
.
You can also rewrite it as:
y=(1/5)x+1
Now, it is in the more familiar "slope-intercept" form:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope (rise/run)
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 1/-0.2 = -5.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 1/1 = 1.
Slope is --0.2/1 = 0.2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.2*x+1.
