Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line in the graph. ly 6 5 (0, 3) 3 2 1 1 ( 25) -8 The slope is m and the y-intercept is b =

Answer 1

Slope m is -4; y-intercept b is 3

Here, we want to find the slope and y-intercept of the given plot

The y-intercept is the y-value of the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis

Thus, as we can see, the value is 3

To find the slope, we use the slope equation and supply the points

The equation is as follows;

`\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ = (0,3)} \\ (x_2,y_2)\text{ = (2,-5)} \\ \\ m\text{ = }(-5-3)/(2-0)=\text{ }(-8)/(2)=\text{ -4} \end{gathered}`
