Question

How can you determine the slope and the y- intercept of a line from a graph?

Answer 1

slope: Take two points from the graph, and do y-y, over x-x.

for ex. (1,2) and (2,4) do 4-2 over 2-1. your slope is 2/1= 2


y-intercept: find the one point on the graph that is exactly on the y-axis.

for ex. (4,0)= your y-intercept is 4
