If you knew that the vertical intercept for a straight line was 15 that the slope was -.5 and that the independent variable (horizontal axis) had a value of 8 the value of the dependent variable would?

y = slope × x + intercept
→ y = -0.5x + 15
→ y = -0.5 × 8 + 15 = -4 + 15 = 11

When the graph of best fit is a straight line the dependent and independent variables have what kind of relationship?
the dependent variable has one value and the independent variable has no value
Can a function only have one x - intercept and one y - intercept?
Yes. A straight line for example, such as y = x.
What is the slope-intercept equation of a line that goes through (54) and is perpendicular to x0 (Algebra 1) Can you walk me through it step by step?
From the information given it appears to have no slope if x0 and so there is no equation as such but plotted on a grid there will be a straight vertical line and a straight horizontal line that meet each other at right angles.
What is another word for horizontal?
another word for horizontal is modif
In the equation for a straight line y equals mx plus b what is the x-intercept equal to?
The x-intercept is equal to -b/m.
Differentiate of dependent and independent variable?
The dependent variable depends on the independent variable for its values as for example in the straight line equation: y = 2x+1 It is y that is the dependent variable and x the independent variable.
When the graph of best fit is a straight line the dependent and independent variables have what kind of relationship?
the dependent variable has one value and the independent variable has no value
What the meaning of dependent variable?
The dependent variable depends on the independent variable for its values as for example in the straight line equation y = 2x+6 whereas y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable
What appearance does a graph line have if the dependent variable does not change with time?
It would be a straight horizontal line like this ______________________ ;)
A straight line on a graph means there is what kind of relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable.?
A straight line shows direct proportion. That means that equal changes in the independent variable always produce the same change in the dependent variable.
What is the definition of linear equation?
A linear equation has a constant rate of change, or slope (change in y (dependent) value over change in x (independent) value), when graphed forms a straight trend line, and is in the format y=mx+b (y is dependent value, m is slope, x is independent value, and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
How do you find the slope when you have the y-intercept and one point?
Draw a straight line from the intercept to the given point. Under this line form a right angle triangle with the line being its hypotenuse. The vertical units of the triangle divided by the horizontal units will be the slope of the straight line.
What is the x intercept of y equals 5?
There is none. y=5 is a straight horizontal line meaning it never crosses the x-axis Or in other words, At the x-intercept, y=0. If y=5, then y is unequal to 0. There is no x intercept.
A straight line on a graph means there is a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable.?

What is the x and y intercepts in y plus 4 equals 0?
y + 4 = 0 y = 0x - 4 The graph is a straight horizontal line. Its slope is zero. The y-intercept is -4. There is no x-intercept.
A straight line on a graph means there is what kind of a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable?
linear
