Question

What is the slope, m, and y-intercept for the line that is plotted on the grid below?

Answer 1

Hope this helps! You need to take two points on the line and use the slope formula to find the slope. To find the y-intercept, look for the point that touches the y-axis.

Answer 2

Answer: The slope of the line is 2 and the y-intercept is (0,4).

Explanation:

In the given figure the line intersect the y axis at y=4 and x-axis at x=-2, therefore the y-intercept is (0,4) and x-intercept is (-2,0).

The slope of a line which passing through two points is,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The line passing through two points (0,4) and (-2,0).

$m=\frac{0-4}{-2-0}$

$m=\frac{-4}{-2}$

$m=2$

Therefore the slope of the line is 2 and the y-intercept is (0,4).
