Question

What is the slope and y intercept of the linear function graphed below? Answer slope as m = ______________; answer y intercept as b = ______________. *

Answer 1

Slope (m) = -⁵/4

y-intercept (b) = 1.5

The graph is non-proportional

Explanation:

The slope of a graph using the points, (-2, 4) and (2, -1) is calculated as:

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 -x_1) = (-1 - 4)/(2 -(-2)) = (-5)/(4)`

✅Slope (m) = -⁵/4

✅y-intercept (y) is the point at which the line intercepts the y-axis = 1.5

✅A proportional graph usually has a line that runs through the point of origin (0, 0). Therefore, the graph is non-proportional.
