Task: Find the equation of the line
on the coordinate plane below. Type your answer into the text
box, and then click Continue.
The equation is = 
We need to find the slope, and then we can find the y-intercept.
The slope is 
.
For every 8 units to the right, the line climbs 15 units upward.
To find the
y-intercept, we can move 6 units to the right from the point marked (–6, –1) toward the
y-axis, to determine our
y-value. We also move
up as we do so. Moving
up and 6 to the right gives us the
y-intercept of
.
So the equation of the line is .
