Which equation represents the line whose slope is 2 and whose y-intercept is 6?

Asked by smelton

Answer (3)

The basic format for questions like these are y=mx+b where m stands for the slope and the b stands for the y-intercept, and x and y stand for the coordinates of the equation. So if you fill it in, it would be y=2x+6.

slope of 2 means that the the x part is 2x
So when x is 0 y must equal 6
so the equation is y = 2x + 6

The equation representing the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 6 is y = 2 x + 6 . This shows how the slope affects the steepness of the line and how the y-intercept indicates where the line crosses the y-axis. You can see how values of x relate to values of y using this equation by plugging in different numbers for x.
