Question

What are the y-intercept and the slope of the line represented in the graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.y intercept=4 and slope =-2

Answer 2

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

$\boxed{\mathrm{slope = - 2 }}$

and

$\boxed{ \mathrm{y \: intercept =4 }}$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

Let's find the slope, using the coordinates of points (2 , 0) and (0 , 4)

• $\sf{ \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1 }}$

• $\dfrac{4 - 0}{0 - 2}$

• $\sf{ \dfrac{4}{ - 2} }$

• $- 2$

The y - intercept is the value of y - coordinate of the point on the line, where x - coordinate is 0 or the y - coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y - axis ~

that is y - coordinate of point (0 , 4)

• $\boxed{4}$
