Kevin plotted a linear equation on a graph with 18 as the y-intercept. Which of the following could be the equation plotted by Kevin?
something with +18 as a term.
To determine the possible equation plotted by Kevin, we need to know the form of a linear equation. A linear equation can be written in the form:
y = mx + b
where:
- y is the dependent variable (in this case, the y-coordinate)
- x is the independent variable (in this case, the x-coordinate)
- m is the slope of the line
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x is 0
Since we know that Kevin plotted a linear equation with a y-intercept of 18, the equation takes the form:
y = mx + 18
Now, let's look at the answer choices and find which one matches this form.
What's your answer lol?
Y = mx + b.
Y = mx + 18.
