Answer:

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:

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.
