Help me determine the slope (rate of change) and the y intercept (initial value) for this one! You can use the formula y = mx + b or m = y2-y1/x2-x1

The slope in the line equation y = 4.99x is 4.99 and the y intercept is 0

The equation of a line is commonly written as "y = mx + b," where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept. This formula expresses the linear relationship between the coordinates of points on the line.

In the equation;

y = 4.99x

writing this in standard form means

y = 4.99x + 0

relating with equation

y = mx + b

b = 0

m = 4.99

Therefore the slope is 4.99 and the y intercept is 0
