Chapter 4: Q. 4.6 (page 161)

In Exercise 4.6, we give linear equations. For each equation,

a. find the y-intercept and slope.

b. determine whether the line slopes upward, slopes downward, or is horizontal, without graphing the equation.

c. use two points to graph the equation.

Given equation is,

y=2x-1

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. y-intercept is -1 and slope is2

b. Slope is upward.

c. The graph is given below.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find y-intercept and slope of given linear equation.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Calculations

General form of linear equation is y=mx+c where is mslope and cis intercept.

Comparing y=2x-1 with general form we get,

slope m=2

y-interceptc=-1

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We have to determine the direction of slope of given linear equation.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Answer and its explanation

As we see the slope is having positive sign so the slope will point in upward direction.

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

We have to graph the equation.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

Graph for above linear equation is
