Question

What is the slope and y intercept of the linear function graphed below? Answer slope as m = ______________; answer y intercept as b = ______________. *

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope (m) = -⁵/4

y-intercept (b) = 1.5

The graph is non-proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a graph using the points, (-2, 4) and (2, -1) is calculated as:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \frac{-1 - 4}{2 -(-2)} = \frac{-5}{4}$

✅Slope (m) = -⁵/4

✅y-intercept (y) is the point at which the line intercepts the y-axis = 1.5

✅A proportional graph usually has a line that runs through the point of origin (0, 0). Therefore, the graph is non-proportional.
