Question 535492: How can I find the answer to this problem??? Has a y-intercept of 2 and contains the point (6,6)
Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = mx + b, which is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.
.
The y-intercept is the point where x=0. Looking at the slope-intercept equation, you can see that it is (0,b). In this case, the y-intercept = (0,2).
.
y = mx + 2
.
The line also goes through the point (6,6).
.
So, you have two points: (0,2) and (6,6). That means you can draw a line.
.
With two points, you also can define the slope.
.
m = change in y / change in x = rise / run
.
m = (2-6) / (0-6) = -4/-6 = 2/3
.
Now we have all the pieces for a the equation.
.
y = 2/3*x + 2
.
A graph always helps.
.
