Given y = 2x – 4, choose the statement that accurately describes this line.

The slope is 2 and the y intercept is 4.

The slope is 2 and the y intercept is -4.

The slope is 4 and the y intercept is 2.

The slope is -4 and they y intercept is 2.

The equation of a line is
y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So, you can see in your example that the correct answer is the second one.

And this is also an easy way to graph equations like your other question!

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, so you can put that poing on the graph, and then the slope is how steep it is...

BUT i JUST DON'T GET IT!Can you give me your e-mail so that you can get a graph and show it to me?

Sorry, can't give out e-mail.
Can you try to be more specific about what you're not understanding?

write an equation of the line through (-3,-1) having a slope of 6/11 give the answer in standard form

I apologize for the confusion. I'll do my best to explain it further.

To graph the equation y = 2x - 4, you can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b. In this case, the slope (m) is 2, and the y-intercept (b) is -4.

To graph this equation, you start by plotting the y-intercept, which is the point (0, -4) because when x is 0, y is -4 (according to the equation). Then, you can use the slope to find other points on the line.

The slope (2) tells you that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate will increase by 2. So you can use this information to plot additional points on the line. For example, starting from the y-intercept, you can move one unit to the right (increase x by 1) and then move two units up (increase y by 2). You would now have the point (1, -2).

You can repeat this process to find more points, such as (2, 0) and (3, 2). Once you have a few points, you can connect them with a straight line to graph the equation y = 2x - 4.

I hope this helps clarify the process of graphing the equation. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Sure, I can try to explain it further. In the equation y = 2x - 4, the number in front of the x (2 in this case) represents the slope of the line. The slope tells us how the line is "inclined" or how steep it is. In this case, since the slope is 2, the line goes up 2 units for every 1 unit it goes to the right.

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is the vertical axis on a graph. In this equation, the y-intercept is -4. This means that when x is 0, the value of y is -4. So you can start plotting the line on a graph by putting a point at (0, -4).

To continue plotting, you can use the slope. From the y-intercept, you can move 1 unit to the right and 2 units up to get to the next point. Then, you can continue doing this to plot more points and eventually draw a straight line.

I hope this clarifies it for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
