Answer:

y intercept = -5

slope= 4

equation: y = 4x - 5

EXPLANATION:

FIRST, you must write the formula for a linear graph , which is y = m(x) + c

where y is any y component and x is it's corresponding x component , m is the gradient or slope and c is the constant or y intercept.

SOLUTION:

y = mx + c

finding the gradient (m)

m = y2 - y1

x2 - x1

=( (-1)-(-5) ) ÷ (1-0)

= -1+5 ÷ 1

= 4

Therefore, the slope is 4

finding the y intercept.

y = 4x + c

in the above equation, I substituted the value I had for the slope or the gradient or m.

SO NOW IM ABOUT TO FIND C

TO FIND C, YOU MUST FIRST PICK A CORRESPONDING Y AND X COMPONENT.

I CHOOSE MY Y = 3 and X = 2

Now I'm going to substitute those values into the formula.

(3) = 4(2) + C

since it's an equation with one variable, no need for simultaneous equations.

3 = 8 + c

3-8 = c

-5 = c

SO THATS HOW WE ARRIVED AT -5 AND 4.

WITH THAT, the equation of the line is y = 4x - 5.

I HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL.
