Question

(0,-1) and (-2,0)

What is the slope of the graph?

What is the y-intercept of the graph?

Answer 1

-½; -1

Explanation:

(0 - -1)/(-2 - 0)

1/-2

= -½

y intercept is where x = 0,

So it is -1

Answer 2

slope -1/2

y intercept -1

Explanation:

To find the slope given two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

=(0--1)/(-2-0)

= (0+1) /(-2-0)

=1/-2

= -1/2

The y intercept is when x = 0

(0,-1) is when x =0 so the y intercept is -1
