Answer 2

Answer: Slope: 3, Y-intercept: 3/2

Explanation:

x y

-1 -3/2

-1/2 0

0 3/2

1/2 3

Since we are given an x,y table, we can easily spot the y-intercept. The y-intercept has the x value of 0. Therefore, the y-intercept is 3/2.

Now, we can use the formula
`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )` to find the slope.

`m=((3)/(2) -0)/(0-(-(1)/(2)))`

`m=((3)/(2) )/((1)/(2) ) =(3)/(2) *2=3`

Slope: 3

Y-intercept: 3/2
