HURRRYYYY I HAVE 5 MINUTES!!!

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

x
y
–1
Negative three-halves
Negative one-half
0
0
Three-halves
One-half
3
The slope is –3, and the y-intercept is Negative one-half.
The slope is –3, and the y-intercept is Three-halves.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is (3/2) three-halves.

Explanation:

The data provided is:

X Y

-1.0 -1.5

-0.5 0.0

0.0 1.5

0.5 3.0

The slope of the linear function is denoted by, b and the intercept is denoted by, a.

The formula to compute the slope and intercept are:

Compute the values required in Excel.

Compute the slope and intercept as follows:

Thus, the slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is (3/2) three-halves.
