Full solution

Q. Which rule describes the relationship between the x x - and y y -coordinates on the following graph?
  1. Pick Points: Look at the graph and pick two points that lie on the line. Let's say the points are (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2).
  2. Calculate Slope: Calculate the slope mm using the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}. Suppose we picked points (2,4)(2, 4) and (4,8)(4, 8).
  3. Plug in Values: Plug in the values into the slope formula: m=8442=42=2m = \frac{8 - 4}{4 - 2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2.
  4. Write Equation: Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
  5. Find Y-Intercept: Find the y-intercept bb by looking where the line crosses the y-axis. Let's say it crosses at (0,b)(0, b).
  6. Final Equation: If the line crosses the y-axis at (0,0)(0, 0), then b=0b = 0. So the equation of the line is y=2xy = 2x.
