Given:

Line m: y = 3x + 4

(x, y) ==> (2, 3)

Given that the two lines (line m and n) pass the given point.

Let's write the y-intercept and slope of line m.

Apply the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comppare both equations:

y = mx + b

y = 3x + 4

Slope, m = 3

y-intercept (b) = 4

Therefore, the slope of line m is 3 while the y-intercept is y = 4.

ANSWER:

Slope of line m = 3

y-interept, = 4
