Question

What is the slope and the y-intercept of the line on the graph below? Answer / a. Slope = -4, y-intercept = 1 B. Slope = -4, y-intercept =4 C. Slope = -1/4, y-intercept = 1 D. Slope = -1/4, y-intercept = 4

Answer 1

C. Line crosses y-axis at 1. Line goes 1 unit down and 4 units across.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept is the point on the graph at which the line crosses over the y-axis. In this case, your y-intercept is 1, because the line crosses over the y-axis at 1. The slope formula is rise/run, or y2 -y1/x2-x1. However since you were not supplies with any coordinates, you'll have to go with rise (up/down) over run (left/right). The slope of the line falls one cube down ward, making the slope negative 1. The slope  "runs" to the right 4 cubes, making the slope -1 (falls 1 cube)/4 (moves to the left/right 4 cubes).
