Answer:
slope is -1, y intercept is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
slope formula is y1-y2 over x1-x2
plug in formula
u get the slope is -1
Answers:
Slope = 4
Y intercept = 5
======================================================
Explanation:
Start at the point (-1,1) which is one point on the line. Then move up 4 units and to the right 1 unit to get to (0,5). This is another point on the line.
Therefore the slope = rise/run = 4/1 = 4.
You could also use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
---------------
The y intercept is 5 since the line crosses the y axis at this location. More specifically this is the point (0,5). For any y intercept, x = 0.
The equation of this line in slope intercept form is y = 4x+5. Compare it to y = mx+b and we have m = 4 as the slope and b = 5 as the y intercept.
