Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line that is graphed on the coordinate grid.

Answer 1

Slope = 1

y-intercept = -1

Explanation:

To find the equation, first determine the value of the slope (m) and the value of the y-intercept (b).

Using two points on the line, (0, -1) and (1, 0),

`slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (0 -(-1))/(1 - 0) = (1)/(1) = 1`

Slope (m) = 1

The y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis = -1

b = -1
