Question

Which of these best describes the slope and the y-intercept of this line

Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, let's find the y-intercept first.

y-intercept is the point at which the line passes through the y-axis

from careful observation of the graph, the intercept of this graph is equal to 5

intercept = 5

now let's pick two points and solve for the slope

the points can be (0,0) and (4, 5)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope(m)}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(5-0)/(4-0) \\ m=(5)/(4) \end{gathered}`

from the calculations above, the value of the slope is equal to 5 while the slope is equal to 5/4
