How can you determine the equation that represents this relationship?

FINDING THE EQUATION OF A LINEAR RELATIONSHIP. We can use the points on a graph of a linear relationship to write an equation for the relationship. The equation of a linear relationship is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change, or slope, and b is the y-intercept (The value of y when x is 0). Example 1 : A handrail runs alongside a stairway. As the horizontal distance from the bottom of the stairway changes, the height of the handrail changes.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

pi x^2

step-by-step explanation:

pi times x squared
