Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the graph?

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 3, 0) and (negative 2, 4).
The slope is 3, and the y-intercept is 9.
The slope is 3, and the y-intercept is 12.
The slope is 4, and the y-intercept is 9.
The slope is 4, and the y-intercept is 12.

Answer 1

The slope is 4, and the y-intercept is 12.

Explanation:

Slope(m)= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)=(4-0)/(-2--3)=4/(-2+3)=4/1=4

y=mx+c

0=4(-3)+c

0=-12+c

c=12

Therefore, y intercept is 12.

The slope is 4, and the y-intercept is 12.
