Question

Help me please find the slope and y-intercept

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope is 2.15

y-intercept is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find slope and y-intercept of the graph given.

The formula used to find slope is: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Looking at the graph, we can find 2 points

Point 1 : (0,-2)

Point (2): (2,-2.3)

Now putting values and finding slope:

We have: $x_1=0, y_1=-2, x_2=2, y_2=-2.3$

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{2.3-(-2)}{2-0}\\ Slope=\frac{2.3+2}{2}\\ Slope=\frac{4.3}{2}\\Slope=2.15$

So, we get slope = 2.15

Now, finding y-intercept

y-intercept can be found if we put x =0

Looking at the graph, when x =0, y = 2

So, y-intercept is 2
