Answer: y = x + 40

Step-by-step explanation: y = x + 40

First of all, the line starts at the y-axis on 40, which means the y-intercept is 40.

Second, the slope, Rise over run. y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, which is = to 50 - 40 divided by 15 - 5. That is 10 over 10 or 10/10. The slope of that is 1 so the slope is just x.

There are a few possible answers and they are

y - 40 = 1(x - 0)

y - 50 = 1(x - 10)

y - 60 = 1(x - 20)

=================================================

Explanation:

Pick two blue points from the graph. I recommend points that land on grid intersections so we can read the coordinates easily. Two such points are (0,40) and (10,50)

Use the slope formula to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (50-40)/(10-0)

m = 10/10

m = 1

The slope is 1.

Note how I subtracted the y coordinates, then did the same for the x coordinates in the same order, and divided the differences.

------------------

Since your teacher wants the answer in point slope form, we'll use this as our template

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) a the point the line goes through. We have infinitely many choices for (x1,y1) since there are infinitely many points on this line.

------------------

If we use (x1,y1) = (0,40), then we get

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 40 = 1(x - 0)

which is one possible answer

------------------

If we use (x1,y1) = (10,50), then we get

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 50 = 1(x - 10)

which is another possible answer

------------------

If we use (x1,y1) = (20,60), then we get

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 60 = 1(x - 20)

which is another possible answer

------------------

So again there are multiple answers possible. The slope stays the same each time, but x1 and y1 change depending on which point you choose.
