Question

Please show your work a. Find the Slope b. Find the y intercept

Answer 1

Below!

Explanation:

We know that:

• Slope = Rise/Run
• y-intercept = the intersection on the y-axis

________________________________________________

Solution for part a:

First, pick any two points

• My chosen points: (0,1) and (1,4)

Then, using Rise/Run, find the slope of the line.

• Rise/Run = 3/1
• => 3

Hence, the slope is 3.

Solution for part b:

y-intercept is the intersection of the line on the y-axis.

• => y-intercept = b = 1

Answer 2

1) slope = 1 || 2) y-intercept = 1

Explanation:

Take two coordinates: ( 0 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 4 )

1) using the slope formula:
`(y2 - y1 )/(x2-x1)`

:
`(4-1)/(1-0)`

: 3 ....this is the slope.

2) y-intercept is 1.
