Identify the slope and y-intercept of each of the following lines. Then graph each line.
1 answer:
Answer:
Below!
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the "y" variable is on the L.H.S, we can rewrite y = 5 in slope intercept form to determine the slope and the y-intercept.
- ⇒ y = 5
- ⇒ y = 0x + 5
Now, let's compare the equation of the line with the formula.
- ⇒ y = 0x + 5 and y = mx + b
Thus, we will obtain the following equations:
- ⇒ y = y
- ⇒ m (Slope) = 0
- ⇒ x = x
- ⇒ b (Y-intercept) = 5
============================
Thus, the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is 5. Since the slope is 0, the line will be a horizontal line that intersects the y-intercept.
In this case, the y-intercept is 5. Thus, the line will be a horizontal line, intersecting the y-intercept (5). (Refer to graph).
