Question

Y=mx+b Using ordered pair (900,1150) Slope= 4/3 Solve for the y intercept

Answer 1

Answer:

the y intercept is -50

Step-by-step explanation:

in y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We are given the point (900,1150) and a slope of 4/3

we can susbstitute 4/3 into the equation.

y=4/3x+b

since the line will go through the point (900,1150), we can plug it into the equation.

1150=4/3(900)+b

1150=1200+b

-50=b

we are left with the y intercept (b) being -50. As a point, it's (0,-50)

Hope this helps!
