Question

What is the slope and the y-intercept of the line on the graph below? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 1) and (4, 0).

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = Negative one-fourth, y-intercept = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The slope is the change in Y over the change in x:

Slope = (0-1) / 4-0) = -1/4

Slope = -1/4

Y intercept is the Y value when x is equal to 0. In the point (0,1) x is 0 and y is 1, so the y-intercept is 1
