Question

What is the Y-Int and Slope for these 2 equations?

y = -
`(1)/(2)x` - 4
y = 2x + 1

And how do you graph the Y-Int and Slope for these 2 equations?

Answer 1

First equation
Y = -1/2 - 4
Y-Int = -4
Slope = -1/2

To graph the equation the Y-Int goes on the y line of the graph (like in its name) then the slop is -1/2 so you go down -1 and to the right 2 because it’s rise/run the line should be going from left to right down

Second equation
Y = 2x + 1
Y-Int = 1
Slope = 2

To graph this equation you put the 1 on the y line (like in its name) then for the slop you go 2 up because it’s not negative it’s positive then you go one to the right because the x mean go over 1 the line should be going from the right to the left down
