Finite Math Examples
(0,8)(0,8) , m=2m=2
Step 1
Step 1.1
Use the formula for the equation of a line to find bb.
y=mx+by=mx+b
Step 1.2
Substitute the value of mm into the equation.
y=(2)⋅x+by=(2)⋅x+b
Step 1.3
Substitute the value of xx into the equation.
y=(2)⋅(0)+by=(2)⋅(0)+b
Step 1.4
Substitute the value of yy into the equation.
8=(2)⋅(0)+b8=(2)⋅(0)+b
Step 1.5
Find the value of bb.
Step 1.5.1
Rewrite the equation as (2)⋅(0)+b=8(2)⋅(0)+b=8.
(2)⋅(0)+b=8(2)⋅(0)+b=8
Step 1.5.2
Simplify (2)⋅(0)+b(2)⋅(0)+b.
Step 1.5.2.1
Multiply 22 by 00.
0+b=80+b=8
Step 1.5.2.2
Add 00 and bb.
b=8b=8
b=8b=8
b=8b=8
b=8b=8
Step 2
Now that the values of mm (slope) and bb (y-intercept) are known, substitute them into y=mx+by=mx+b to find the equation of the line.
y=2x+8y=2x+8
