Question

What is the slope and the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 1

y-intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

change in y-values = 1

change in x-values = 1

slope = 1/1 or 1

to find the y-intercept ('b'), select an ordered pair:  (1, 6)

use the slope-intercept formula and solve for 'b':

6 = 1(1) + b

6 = 1 + b

5 = b

slope = 1

y-intercept = 5
