What is the y-intercept of the line connecting (1,5) and (4,14)?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is C. b=2.
I found the answer by first finding the slope. To find the slope i found the difference of the y values and divided that by the difference of the x values.
14-5/4-1
This simplifies down to:
9/3 which equals 3.
I then plugged this into the slope intercept form: y=mx+b to get y=3x+b
The next step would be to plug in the values of one of the points to solve for b. The point I choose was (1,5). By plugging this point into the equation i got 5=3(1)+b which simplifies to 5=3+b which means that b=2

Beatrice calculated the slope between two pairs of points. She found that the slope between ( ( -3, 3 , -2) 2 ) and (1, 0) ( 1 ,

Alchen [17]

Answer:

These points may or may not be on the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first set of points is: (-3, -2) and (1, 0)

The second set of points is (-2, -1) and (4,2)

Slope of first two points is:

$Slope=\frac{0-(-2)}{1-(-3)}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of second set of points is:

$Slope=\frac{2-(-1)}{4-(-2)}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

The points are on the lines with the same slopes. But this does not guarantee that these points are on the same line as two parallel lines will also have the same slopes. In order to confirm the conclusion Beatrice need to find the y-intercept or the equation of the lines. If the y-intercept or the equation of lines is same in both cases this would mean that all 4 points are on the same line, else they would be on 2 different lines.
