Question

What are the slope and y-intercept of the linear function

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$, y- intercept = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{0-1}{2-0}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

The y- intercept is the value of y where the graph crosses the y- axis.

y- intercept = 1
