Question

6.) Use the graph below to answer the following questions:

a.) What is the slope of the graph?
b.) What is the y-intercept?
c.) Give the slope-intercept form of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

From the graph we see the intercepts are:

• (0, 2.3) and (-2.3, 0)

a) The slope is:

• m = 2.3/-2.3 = -1

b) y- intercept is

• -2.3

c) The line is:

• y = -x - 2.3

Note: 2.3 is the approximate number, it could be 2.4
