Question

HELP!!!!!!!

The slope of a line is 2 and the point (1, 1) lies on the line. What is the y-intercept of this line?

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

What you're gonna do is plug in the values. (i rhymed) The formula is y=mx+b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

y and x are just the y and x values.

1 = 2(1) + b

1 = 2 + b

-2 -2

-1 = b

That's how you solve for the y-intercept (b) = -1.

Hope this helps and have a great day!
