How to convert a graph into point-slope form?

Question

it's intercepting a little after 0, but before 1 snd on the x axis it intercepts before -1, but after 0.

Answer 1

To actually do the equation of the line we need

to know the actual coordinates for the two points..

 

It sounds like your y-intercept is near (0, 1/2)

and your x-intercept is near (-1/2, 0) ...

 

From this we can find the equation of the line...

However, unless we are certain about those two

points, ... it is a guess.

 

If those points are valid then from... (0, 1/2), (-1/2, 0)

we first find the slope

m = (change in y)/(change in x)

m = (1/2 - 0)/(0-(-1/2)) = (1/2)/(1/2) = 1

 

We have slope m=1.  We can use the slope intercept

form  y = mx + b to write the equation of the line.

 

m = slope = 1

b = y-intercept from point (0,b) = 1/2

 

The line would be   y = x + 1/2

 

NOTE:  I do not know if your intercepts are actually at 1/2...

So this is merely an example.
