Question

can you please help me?the question says "find the slope and y intercept of the line, then write it in slope Intercept form

Answer 1

Given the graph of a line

As shown : the line passes with points (0 , 3 ) and ( 4 , -1 )

The general slope intercept form is : y = m * x + b

Where m is the slope and b is y- intercept

`slope=m=(rise)/(run)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-1-3)/(4-0)=(-4)/(4)=-1`

The point of y- intercept is = ( 0 , 3 )

`b=3`

Substitute with m and b at the general form

So, the equation of the line will be :

`y=-x+3`

So ,the answer is the first option: y = -1x + 3
