Question

A slope of (1/4)and goes through point (12,-9)
What’s the intercept?

Answer 1

y - intercept = - 12

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m =
`(1)/(4)` , thus

y =
`(1)/(4)` x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (12, - 9) into the partial equation

- 9 = 3 + c ⇒ c = - 9 - 3 = - 12 ← y- intercept
