Adriana writes the equation y = 2x + 4 to represent a line on a graph. Henry writes an equation that has a y-intercept that is 1 unit lower on the graph but has the same slope as Adriana’s line. Which is Henry’s equation?
The biggest part of this problem is understanding what the equation is for Slope-Intercept Form. The equation is y=mx+b. This looks complicated, but don't worry; it's actually quite "b" stands for the y-intercept, and "m" stands for the slope. Adriana's problem says that the y-intercept is 4, and to find Henry's answer, you need to change the y-intercept by -1. What is 4-1? 3. If the slope, 2, stays the same, then y=2x+3! There's your answer.
