Write an equation of 2,2 0,2 slope intercept form

Answer 1

Hi Aveona!

When we are writing an equation in slope intercept form, the first thing we want to find is the slope. We know the formula for finding slope to be (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

When we substitute our points in this formula we get (2-2)/(2-0).

When we solve this, we get 0/2 which simplifies to 0.

Now we know the slope.

We have to find the y-intercept. The y intercept is 2 because when x=0, y=2 (from the given point).

We can substitute it for the y=mx+b.

We get y=0x+2 which simplifies to y=2

Answer 2

First take the two points you have provided and graph them

(2,2) and (0,2)

Notice how the 'y' value of each is the same (this means it's just a horizontal line at y=2)

Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Well, you know you have no slope (no curving of the function) thus m = 0

y = b

'b' could only be 2 since we know the y distance has to 2 units up for both points

y = 2
