Question

Instructions: Find tire slope between the two points given. Then, use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in

Slope-Intercept forn. State the slope and y-intercept.
(0, -3) and (1, -1)
Equation:
Slope:
y-Intercept:

Answer 1

Equation: y = 2x — 3

Slope: 2

Y-intercept: —3

Explanation:

m=∆y/∆x

= —3—(—1)/0—1

= —2/—1

= 2

We Know: y - y0 = m (x—x0)

y — (—3) = 2 (x — 0)

y + 3 = 2x

y = 2x — 3

So

Equation: y = 2x — 3

Slope: 2

Y-intercept: —3
