Question

Given the following table of values, what is the slope and y-intercept?

Answer 1

Y- intercept= (0, -1)

Slope = 2/3

Explanation:

Finding the Y-Intercept is pretty much finding the Y value when X is 0

Looking at this table, when x = 0, y is -1. Which means your y intercept is (0, -1)

To find slope, you take two points (x,y) and apply it to the slope formula. We'll do the bottom 4 since those are all nice looking numbers

`slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

plugging it in...

`slope = (3 - 1)/(6 - 3)`

3-1 = 2 and 6-3 = 3

Keep that in fraction form

`slope = (2)/(3)`
