Question

HELP!!!!

Choose the slope and y-intercept that correspond with the graph

Answer 1

First Choice: slope: 2 y-intercept: -2

Explanation:

Take two plotted points, ex: (2, 2) and (3, 4)

Use slope formula: y2- y1 / x2 - x1

(2, 2) - (x1, y1)

(3, 4) - (x2, y2)

4 - 2 / 3 -2 = 2 / 1 = 2 (slope)

**Also, the graph is increasing so the slope must be positive**

Now for the y-intercept, the line passes through "-2" on the y-intercept. Therefore, the y-intercept must be "-2".

If this was in slope-intercept form, it would look like; y = 2x - 2. The answer to your question is the first choice. Hope this helps! :)
