Question

The slope of the line that contains the points (2, -7) and (-2, 5) is -3. What is the y-intercept?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the y intercept by plugging in the slope and a given point into the equation y = mx + b. Then, solve for b:

y = mx + b

-7 = -3(2) + b

-7 = -6 + b

-1 = b

So, the y intercept is -1.

The correct answer is C. -1
