Chapter 8.8, Problem 17PPS

To determine

To calculate:To write an equation in slope-intercept form −

Slope $=2$ , y-intercept $=0$

Answer to Problem 17PPS

The equation in slope-intercept form is $y=2x$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Slope $=2$ , y-intercept $=0$

Formula Used:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is $y=mx+b$ , where $m$ is the slope of the line, and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Calculation:

Given −

Slope $=2$ , y-intercept $=0$

Using the above explanation, we have equation of the line as −

  $y=mx+b$

Substituting the value of slope and y-intercept in the above equation, we have:

  $y=2x+0$

Solving the above equation, we have:

  $y=2x$

Thus, the equation of the line is $y=2x$ .
