Answer:
slope:1/2
y intercept:-1/2
equation of the line: y=1/2x-1/2
Explanation:
choose two points from the line( I chose (3,1) and (-1,-1)) and then using y1-y2/x1-x2, do 1 - -1/3 - -1 which is 2/4 simplified to 1/2. the slope is 1/2.
now to find the y intercept, you just have to plug in the numbers from one of the sets of points you chose and your slope using y = mx +b(I will be using the point (-1,-1)). equational look like this: -1=1/2•-1+b
since b is the y intercept, solve for b and you get b= -1/2.
so nowsince you know the slope and the y intercept you just plug it in to the equation
y = mx + b and you get y=1/2x-1/2.
