do the points on the line y=4/11x -5 have a slope of the y coordinate to the x coordinate for any point on the line except the y intercept? explain your answer.

y = (4/11)x - 5
the slope of this line is 4/11, and the y-intercept is -5
When the line crosses the y axis, that is the y-intercept is when the value of x is zero:
y = (4/11)x - 5
y = (4/11)(0) - 5
y = -5
so at this point the equation doesnt have a slope you could say, but only at this point because is when x = 0
