Example Question #41 : Linear Functions
Which of the following equations passes through and is parallel to .
Since the line goes through we know that is the y-intercept.
Since we are looking for parallel lines, we need to write the equation of a line that has the same slope as the original, which is .
Slope-intercept form equation is , where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
Therefore,
.
Example Question #42 : Linear Functions
Write an equation of the line passing through and in slope-intercept form.
Reminder: Slope-Intercept form is , where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
Step 1: Find the Slope
Step 2: Find the y-intercept
Use the slope and a point in the original y-intercept
Step 3: Write your equation
Example Question #851 : Algebra Ii
Find the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that has a slope of and passes through .
Since we know the slope and we know a point on the line we can use those two piece of information to find the y-intercept.
Example Question #44 : Linear Functions
Determine the slope of a line that has points and .
Slope is the change of a line. To find this line one can remember it as rise over run. This rise over run is really the change in the y direction over the change in the x direction.
Therefore the formula for slope is as follows.
Plugging in our given points
and ,
.
Example Question #45 : Linear Functions
What is the equation of the line passing through (-1,4) and (2,6)?
To find the equation of this line, first find the slope. Recall that slope is the change in y over the change in x: . Then, pick a point and use the slope to plug into the point-slope formula (): . Distribute and simplify so that you solve for y: .
Example Question #2 : Graphing Linear Functions
An individual's maximum heart rate can be found by subtracting his or her age from . Which graph correctly expresses this relationship between years of age and maximum heart rate?
In form, where y = maximum heart rate and x = age, we can express the relationship as:
We are looking for a graph with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 220.
The slope is -1 because as you grow one year older, your maximum heart rate decreases by 1.
Example Question #21 : Graphing Linear Functions
What is the slope of ?
To solve this, first put the linear equation into slope-intercept form:
.
Recall that in slope intercept form
,
the m term is the slope value.
Therefore, the slope is 2.
Example Question #45 : Linear Functions
How many -intercepts does the graph of the function
have?
Four
Two
Zero
One
Cannot be determined
Two
The graph of a quadratic function has an -intercept at any point at which , so, first, set the quadratic expression equal to 0:
The number of -intercepts of the graph is equal to the number of real zeroes of the above equation, which can be determined by evaluating the discriminant of the equation . Set , and evaluate:
The discriminant is positive, so there are two real solutions to the quadratic equation, and the graph of the function has two -intercepts.
Example Question #21 : Graphing Linear Functions
Which of the following graphs correctly depicts the graph of the inequality
Let's start by looking at the given equation:
The inequality is written in slope-intercept form; therefore, the slope is equal to and the y-intercept is equal to .
All of the graphs depict a line with slope of and y-intercept . Next, we need to decide if we should shade above or below the line. To do this, we can determine if the statement is true using the origin . If the origin satisfies the inequality, we will know to shade below the line. Substitute the values into the given equation and solve.
Because this statement is true, the origin must be included in the shaded region, so we shade below the line.
Finally, a statement that is "less than" or "greater than" requires a dashed line in the graph. On the other hand, those that are "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to" require a solid line. We will select the graph with shading below a dashed line.
