Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line in each graph. PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

slope m = -2, y-intercept b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the change in y over the change in x.

Equation for slope: y2-y1/x2-x1=m

Since they already gave us the two points we just have to decide which one is our y2,y1 and out x2,x1 (which one you chose does not matter). And plug the numbers into the equation and get: -3-1/2-0=m, in this case, m=-4/2 and simplify it into -2. Now we have our slope.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses over the y-axis, and in our case, it is given to us in the (0,1) so our slope is 1.

Hope this helps you
