Question

(0,1)(4,2) find the slope and y-intercept using the point slope formula

Answer 1

Hello, Jssoyg! I've solved the problem for you below. I hope it helps.

Slope equation is
`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`. The two points are (0,1) and (4,2), so the equation becomes
`(2 - 1)/(4 - 0) = (1)/(4)`. We now know that the slope is 1/4, so now let's write it in the
`y = mx + b` format. Plug in the m, x, and y values:
`2 = 4*(1)/(4) + b`.

This becomes
`2 = 1 + b` which means b = 1.

Your answer is y = 1/4x + 1. Hope this was helpful. :D
