Question

2. Find the slope and the y-intercept

of the graph of the linear equation
y = 1/8x + 3
A) Slope: 8; y-intercept: 3
B) Slope: 1/3; y- intercept: 1/8
C) Slope: 1; y-intercept: 1/8
8
D) Slope: 1/8; y-intercept: 3

Answer 1

D) Slope: 1/8; y-intercept: 3

Explanation:

An equation in the form y = mx + b has certain characteristics that help us determine the slope and y-intercept of the line easily.

The variable "m" gives us the slope of the line, while the variable "b" gives us the y-intercept of the line.

Taking y = 1/8x + 3, we can see that the m-value is 1/8 and the b-value is 3.

Therefore, the slope of this line is 1/8 and the y-intercept is 3.

The answer is D) Slope: 1/8; y-intercept: 3.
