Follow the steps and write the equation represented by this graph.

step 1: write the general equation.

step 2: identify b, the y intercept (x = 0) b=

step 3: the second point from graph (x, y) p=,

step 4: define m as ratio of rise / run m = rise /

step 5: put coordinates into ratio and get (7 - ) / ( - 0)

step 6: perform subtraction; get slope / 1

step 7: substitute values into y = mx + b

step 8: write answer y = x +
