Answer: B. (1,1)

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
y=mx+b

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Used rise/run:


(rise)/(run)


m=(rise)/(run)

The y-intercept is the point on a graph at which the graph crosses the y-axis.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

the answer is B. because if you make an equation in the form y=mx+b then you can solve the equation by inputting x where x goes in the equation and solving. BTW the equation would be y=2x-1
