Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (3,-4) and has a y-intercept of -5

Answer 1

1/3 = slope

Explanation:

Start with

y = mx + b

b = -5 given , now sub in the given point to calculate m =slope

-4 = m(3) - 5 add 5 to both sides

1 = m(3) divide through by 3

1/3 = m = slope
