find the slope intercept form where m=1 passes through origin

Question

i does not now  how to solve the guestion. the points are very confussing

Answer 1

This question mentions some very basic terms that are covered in beginning algebra.

 

The slope of a line is the "rise over run" -- the amount the y-values increase divided by the amount the x-values increase;

      it is calculated as      m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

The slope is represented by m because the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is:

    y = mx + b

The y-intercept of the line (indicated by the value of b) is the place where the line crosses the y-axis (with a value of x=0).

 

Now, for this problem.  The slope m=1.  The y-intercept is at the point (0,0), which is the origin.

The slope-intercept form of the equation for this line is:

      y = 1x + 0

      y = x
