Question

Super easy please help

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, you need to see where the line intersects the x-axis, the horizontal line with numbers on it. The line intersects the x-axis at (2, 0). Therefore, the x-intercept is (2, 0).

To find the y-intercept, you need to see where the line intersects the y-axis, the vertical line with numbers on it. The line intersects the y-axis at (1, 0). Therefore, the y-intercept is (1, 0).

There are two ways to find the slope. The easiest one in my opinion is rise over run, but you can also use an equation too. I am going to be showing you the rise/run method, but you can also ask if you want the equation method as well. First of all, the line goes to the left, not the right, so we know that the slope is going to be negative. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x). All you need to do is calculate the difference between the two points in the vertical direction (rise) and then divide it by the difference in the horizontal direction (run). I am going to choose point (1, 0) if I go up by 2 and over by 4, I'll get to the point (-4, 3) that also lands on the line. 2/4 is 1/2. Therefore, the slope is -1/2.

I hope this helps! Let me know if I got something wrong.
