Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (14, -2) and (5,13)​

Answer 1

m = -5/3

Y-intercept: (0, 64/3)

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points (14, -2) and (5,13)​

We see the y increase by 15 and the x decrease by 9, so the slope is

m = -15/9 = -5/3
The y-intercept is located at ( 0, 64/3)
