Question

What is the y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (2, 5) and (3, 6)?

Answer 1

(0, 3)

Explanation:

First, find the slope using rise/run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(6 - 5) / (3 - 2)

1/1 = 1

Now, we can plug in the slope and a point into the equation y = mx + b to find b (y-intercept)

y = 1x + b

5 = (1)(2) + b

5 = 2 + b

3 = b

= (0, 3)
