You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please show me how to write an equation of a linewith the given slope:
m=1 and y-intercept b=4
.
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
.
Your problem gives you
m = 1
b = 4
So, substitute the above into:
y = mx + b
to get
y = 1x + 4
or
y = x + 4 (this is what they're looking for)
