Question

In 5 - 7 complete sentences, answer all of the following question. •Use this image to respond to the following prompt: •Is the slope of this line positive or negative? How do you know? •What is the y-intercept of this line? How did you find it? •What is the slope of this line? How did you find it?

Answer 1

Answer:

positive slope

(0,3)

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• Slope of the given line is positive

• If the line is sloping upward from left to right, so the slope is positive (+).

or if the angle made by the line to the x axis is < 90 it's slope is positive.

• y-intercept of the line is (0,3)
• The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. At this point x = 0.
• slope of the line is 2

• slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

    lines passing through points (1,5) (0,3)

    slope = (3 - 5) / (0 - 1)

              = -2 / -1 = 2  

Answer 2

- The line is positive because it is going upwards from the bottom left to the top right

- The y-intercept is positive 3

              - It can be found by seeing where the line intercepts the y-axis when x = 0

              - Written as a coordinate point of (0, 3)

- The slope of the line is 2

              - It can be found by using "rise over run" which is the change in y divided by the change in x
