Question

The slope of the line shown in the graph is __ and the y-intercept of the line __

Answer 1

slope

(0, 6) and (-9, 0)

0 - 6 / -9 - 0 = -6/-9 = 2/3

y intercept is when the line intercepts the y axis and x = 0

The slope of the line shown in the graph is 2/3 and the y-intercept of the line is 6

Answer 2

slope is 2/3

y intercept is 6

Explanation:

We can find the slope of the line by using two point

(-9,0) and (0,6)

The slope formula is

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 6 - 0) /( 0 - -9)

= (6-0)/(0+9)

= 6/9

= 2/3

The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis ( the value where x is 0)

The y intercept is 6
